The app is well-executed, and I love the vision. But personally, when I'm feeling lonely or generally unhappy, I'm not sure reading through an endless sea of other people's misery is the best thing for it.


Thank you for your kind words and feedback. I think you would be surprised by browsing on r/lonely on Reddit and see how many people want to vent and ask people to talk to them. It can be incredibly lonely when you feel like you are never heard by anyone, and I think this platform can be very helpful to those people.

And there might be a time where you feel you need to be heard, or even find someone who might be going through the same thing that you previously went through, and you can offer help!

Plus, this is the first iteration of the app. We do envision creating a platform for the general public not just for lonely people to discover meaningful connections that you wouldn't have been able to with other apps or just by bumping into strangers in real life.
