Adding friends

Finding people

Section titled “Finding people”

Search needs at least 2 characters before it runs. Everyone’s profile lives at /people/<username>.

Sending a request

Section titled “Sending a request”

  1. Send a request by email or username.

    Either works, and a leading @ on a username is stripped automatically.

  2. Wait for them to accept.

    Friendship is mutual. They get a friend request notification, and until they accept you are not friends and neither of you can see the other’s schedule.

  3. They accept or decline.

Searching for someone and sending a friend request

What friends can see

Section titled “What friends can see”

Two layers decide this together:

  1. Each event’s visibility — only events marked “Friends” show details to friends
  2. Account-level switches — whether course details, location and live status show at all

They combine as AND: an event marked “Friends” still shows only as busy if you have turned course details off.

A friend's timetable as you see it

Shared free time

Section titled “Shared free time”

Once you are friends you can see the free time you have in common. This uses only the busy/free layer, so it still works when every event is set to “Busy” with no details.

The exception is “Private”: those events do not count as busy, so others may read that time as free.

Managing a friend

Section titled “Managing a friend”

Each friend has these settings. They are yours alone — the other person cannot see them:

Feature What it does
Note A private name for this person, visible only to you
Pin Keeps the people you check often at the top
Birthday Record their birthday, optionally with a reminder
Watch schedule Notifies you when their timetable changes

Blocking and removing

Section titled “Blocking and removing”
  • Block cuts off contact and can be undone later
  • Remove ends the friendship

Either way they stop seeing anything you marked “Friends”.
