It begins with my craving to interact with fellow humans face to face, instead of digitally like many younglings. I tried to reach out to friends I know quite well from my childhood, acquaintances from high school and college, but they weren’t around the city anymore, leaving me feeling lonely. I sought out community events, but the best my city could offer was picking up trash after a car-free day in the morning on weekends, which doesn’t suit me as a night owl. This longing for genuine human interaction inspired me to create a social platform designed to help people engage more easily in meaningful connections and foster genuine friendships along the way.
