    What’s the disadvantage? I really only see advantages.

    So here’s an example:

    you: hey

    you: are you free right now?

    other: nah. Sorry

    other: but I shold have time around 17:00.

    you: Ok. Call me when you’re done. It’s kinda important

    other: Ok


    The first message introduces a conversation followed by a follow up. As soon as you send the first message it’s easier to send the second one too since you already introduced the conversation.

    The other person then answers with a short answer where they don’t really have to think about what they write and how they write it. You instantly get an answer.

      What’s the disadvantage?

      https://nohello.net/en/

      A: hey (my watch vibrates once)
      A: are you free right now? (my watch vibrates again)
      B: nah. Sorry (their phone plays the sound once)
      B: but I shold have time around 17:00. (their phone plays the sound again)

      as opposed to:

      A: hey, are you free right now? (one vibration)
      B: nah, sorry, but I should have time around 17:00 (one sound played)

        I don’t really see a problem with that. Also it shouldn’t vibrate if you’re already in the chat. So that really isn’t a problem since you usually see that the other person is typing and usually wait for them to send the message as long as they aren’t taking too long.

          I don’t really see a problem with that.

          and I do, because it doubles the amount of notifications I receive. if 5 people ask me something that way, I end up with 10 notifications, half of them being a pointless “hey”. it’s just plain inconsiderate.

          Also it shouldn’t vibrate if you’re already in the chat

          I don’t always immediately rush to check my phone when I get notified, not to mention that when the alerts are fired in a rapid sequence like that you often just don’t have time to open the conversation before the next alert arrives.

      My friends in a group chat sometimes have something to ask me so they be like: ‘Hey, Critical_Insight?’ - to which I two hours later reply: ‘Yeah?’ and then maybe an hour later I get the actual question and an hour from that I reply to it. If they instead would’ve just asked the question in the first message, I then would have answered to in in my first reply, and then be done with it. Maybe it’s just me, but I see that as waste of everyones time.
