FlashPing is an instant alert messaging app for moments when a normal text isn't enough, but a phone call feels like too much. Send an urgent alert directly to someone's phone and get their attention without actually calling. No chat, no feeds, no unnecessary noise — just a simple way to send messages that can't wait.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built FlashPing around a simple problem:
Sometimes you need someone's attention immediately, but sending a normal message feels too easy to miss — while calling them feels unnecessary.
That's the gap FlashPing is trying to fill.
⚡ Send an instant alert directly to another FlashPing user
📱 Get their attention with an urgent, full-screen experience
🔔 Designed for those “I need you to see this NOW” moments
👥 Save frequent contacts for quick alerts
Think:
“I'm outside.”
“Come downstairs.”
“Call me ASAP.”
“Your cab is here.”
Or anything else that simply can't wait.
FlashPing isn't meant to replace messaging or calling. It's meant to sit between them.
**When a text isn't enough and a call is too much.**
This is the first version I've shipped, and I'm here to learn from the Product Hunt community.
I'd genuinely love to know:
**Where would you use something like FlashPing?**
And if you try it, I'd especially appreciate honest feedback on the experience. ⚡
