I don't know, it's a noble goal, but I don't really see it being something to build an income on. Not everything has to have a commercial angle, but you need to pay for hosting and you need to pay yourself a salary. If the last few months have thought us anything is that you need to have a plan for monetization (whatever that means to you).
Voice connections without the element of vanity (photos, videos) can allow for authentic connections between strangers that texts cannot convey. It is what we believe in and first-hand experienced on our app.
We first want to achieve the network effect so that the platform has value to users, then we do have some premium features in mind that we can serve to enrich the experience of power users.
Thank you for your thoughtful remark!
The goal is to facilitate people forming authentic connections using their voice in today's day and age where we are flooded with vanity-focused photos and videos and easy-to-misinterpret texts.
So far, the response from the actual users have been really great. I suggest you give it a try to connect with someone online1
I don't understand what this is / it just feels like a survey for really short sort of useless replies to a survey on loneliness.
If the goal here is to just show a snapshot of one example of how this system works, you may want to have a modal or explanation saying "This is just an example, download the mobile app to see the full experience and other conversations".
On the actual app, you are able to carry a conversation with a stranger, going way beyond just sharing your short audio status messages.
We will try to capture that in the demo as well, either as an video or texts. Thank you for your feedback!
