Why I built this

During my autism burnout episodes, isolation episodes or depressive ones, my mom would call to check if I was okay. The phone ringing felt like an alarm. The messages incoming felt paralysing. Answering or even texting back "I'm alive" was impossible. Not answering meant she'd panic.

I needed something in between. A way to say "I exist, I'm safe, but I can't talk right now" without having to explain why or pretend everything was fine.

So I built JustPing.App. Not as a business. As a bridge between me and the people who care about me when conversations are too overwhelming
