I had an idea which was related to this. My idea wasn't to make new friends, but rather to figure out how you can be relevant to people you already know and grow that into deeper, better friendships. Honestly, I don't know how I can help my friends sometimes and feel they don't know what I'm struggling with, working on, etc.

I had to put the app on hold because my friend dropped out on the project. It was in beta for a bit. Never officially launched. Still I hope to re-write it from scratch later this year.
