I want to create an app where people connect face to face randomly at any point. When you log in you are automatically sent to a room with others. Life has become so lonely for so many I want to be able to connect people with each other but npt through writing. The biggest concern is AI people and bullying but that's why I'll have everyone stay in one room until they feel safe and show safe behavior.

Isn’t that just Omegle? There were some very big problems with that… kind of a horror show to use unfortunately….

Yup. Chat Roulette still exists, but they had to institute AI moderation and human mods to cut down on all the bad content. And even then, it's not foolproof.

Yeah that's Omegle/Chat Roulette. It's a fun idea, but those platforms got abused fast. If you find a way to work around them, there might be something to it.

That's a nice idea on the surface, but having it work with human beings in the modern era is quite an obstacle. There's really no online space that's free from trolls and scammers. If you think it through, it seems unlikely that anyone would wait around in a room waiting to see if people can behave like normal humans.

I’m building something exactly like this except it’s professional (LinkedIn style), curated - so more matchmaking, and quick 3-5 min conversations back-to-back with people who align with your goals - the ones who can actually move your needle forward. Here’s the starting point - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/founder-investor-speed-matchmaking-tickets-1980203891144?aff=oddtdtcreator

With my background in working with bullies and those who are bullied, I see the nightmare side but also have more safeguards than usual and early on. Because I would need trained staff to recognize early warning signs and trained staff present at all times, the implemntation would be very small and very expensive. But if it works, we will ahve a road map for future moderation strategy. People will say this is already done but it's not done effectively. 90% of people can't recognize underlying behvaiors that lead to trolling and sometimes experts can't so it will take a lot but I think the final result could be worth the effort. And if not, the information learned from this could help someone else.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?
