Not just talk. Tonight.

Jakarta, after office hours

In Jakarta the night usually starts after office hours, once the traffic eases a little. Some head straight for coffee in Senopati, some hang out in Blok M waiting for friends, some go on a food hunt in PIK until late. Every corner of the city has its own way of hanging out.

The problem is that plans to meet someone new often stay just talk. Weeks of chatting, "some time, yeah", and then nothing. Not to mention traffic that makes crossing the city feel like a chore. YesTonite focuses on tonight and on people nearby: see who is going out, send one message, and if they reply, meet somewhere easy to reach by MRT or TransJakarta.

Saturday night is always the busiest, and Friday night too. On weekdays many people only go out once the rush hour traffic eases. During Ramadan, get-togethers move to breaking the fast together after sunset.
