This document outlines the user experience concept for an app called Flare. It describes features for searching and selecting recipients, sending location or media to recipients via "flares", viewing received flares, and responding to flares with default or media responses. Key aspects include searching contacts by letter, sending flares to individuals or groups, viewing a flare timeline, getting directions to a location, and responding to flares with photos, videos, or text.
