Nærnet
A simple way to human contact.
Nærnet is a relational concept in development. It explores how people who miss close contact can reach another person more easily.
Concept and prototype in development
Key paths in the concept
- Talk now
- When the need for contact is here and now.
- Who is online?
- A small, manageable selection of people ready for a conversation.
- Talk again
- If both people want contact again after a conversation.
- My close friend
- A recurring relationship both have chosen themselves.
- Invite
- A digital relationship can later lead to a walk, a coffee or an activity.
- My interests
- Interests can work as conversation starters.
Nærnet is not a dating site.
Where the concept stands
There are concept boards and prototype visualisations used internally in the development work. They document development — not a finished, launched product. There is no measured effect and no national implementation.
