Say hello in one tap: a wave, a toast, a coffee, a high five or a thank you. Members wave back, and the quiet ones come back.
Most members never start a conversation with a stranger. They will wave, though. XenPing turns hello into a single tap: no message to write, no reply expected, no thread to start. The other member gets a friendly alert, waves back from their inbox, and two people who would never have talked have now met.
Five gestures, one tap from any profile
Your waves: answer anyone with one click
Upgrading from 1.x: install the archive over your current version from the Admin CP. Every wave is kept and the counts are rebuilt automatically.

What it does
- Five gestures. Wave, Cheers, Coffee, High five and Thanks, each with its own alert and emoji. The wave is always there; you choose which of the other four your members get.
- Wave from anywhere. From a profile, from the member tooltip, and if you like from the author block of every message. The gesture menu only loads when someone opens it, so long threads stay as fast as before.
- Your waves inbox. Everything you received and sent, with a one-click Wave back that answers with the same gesture.
- Most waved. Leaderboards for the last 7 days, the last 30 days and all time, with a podium, infinite scroll and your own counts, plus a Most waved widget for any position.
- Friendly, never spammy. A daily limit per user group (unlimited if you want), a cooldown per person, flood protection, a Wave at you privacy setting, and ignored members cannot wave at you.
- Brings people back. An optional email tells an inactive member someone waved, at most once in a while.
- For admins. A wave log with filters and statistics, a counters rebuild, alert preferences, a REST API, Spanish translations, and clean handling of deleted and merged members.
