Just waiting for that "oh and also there is this org-mode extension that does this really well" cpmment to be posted...
We're the founders of Millow (I previously co-founded Screenhero), and are happy to answer any questions folks may have!
On Win 10 Chrome the font is Times New Roman which makes the site look a little cheap, but the graphics are cute.
This is something I've been coming to miss since turning my back on facebook-the-platform. Upvoting for the idea, but it's a shame it's for iOS only. Does anyone have recommendations for something open source on Android?
Sounds good, but count me out if there's no way to access it from desktop. I wouldn't use Facebook, Twitter, etc. if I couldn't access it from a normal browser too.
Are you serious about the font choice on the website?
I find the pitch story compelling and the idea intriguing, but having people download an app for it strikes me as frictional and a bit invasive. Essentially you are asking me to volunteer relationships that are usually in a somewhat fragile state (i.e. valued but undermaintained) to some impersonal external system that's going to send growth-hack-like e-mails to them and ask them to download apps. How about something…
a) We are not going to send any emails or texts to anyone from your contacts. Apps like Gather / IRL spam people for growth, and we would rather earn your trust and grow slowly.
b) You can use Millow without ever inviting anyone else on. It can be used in a 100% single-player mode, where it will do exactly what you said. You can set reminders for your close friends, and Millow will send you a push notification once a week (Sunday afternoon in your device's time zone) to remind you about the friends that you're set to meet this week (it won't send a push reminder if there are none).
c) Monetization isn't something we're particularly concerned with in the immediate future (we are a team of two, and have sufficient savings from the acquisition of my previous startup Screenhero by Slack), and we are doing this mainly because we believe in the social impact of what we're doing. We do have plans for future monetization (e.g. if we help you make a plan to meet up with a friend at a local restaurant, the restaurant pays us similarly to OpenTable).
Happy to chat more, here or via email (support@millow.app). We're a two person team, and are eager for learning more and improving.

Hi there – I'm Ashley, one of the two Cofounders at Millow. Thanks for pointing this out! The font should be Helvetica Neue and we're wondering which browser you might be using? It'll help us identify the problem so we can fix the issue immediately :) Thanks!
You need to include Sans-Serif in your CSS - so the default sans serif font is picked for non Apple devices. Or be more specific and list Arial, Segoe UI, Calibri etc
There are still tons of Windows users out there, so worth checking on non Apple devices.
