two strangers. one call. no names

Super neat concept, sort of like a stripped down chatroulette.

However, in today's age I have to say that these sorts of little fun social experiment projects are just a lot harder to engage with without the back of your head going: "I wonder if this has some data collection, or voiceprint collection mechanism behind it".

I'm not saying it does. In fact my natural assumption would be that it doesn't. But I can't be sure until I check, and look into the developer and ensure for myself that it is in fact a hobby project by someone legitimately just fooling around.

The prevalence of data harvesting on the internet has basically poisoned the well with regards to these little fun experiments.

I think in late nineties we did this with IPhone. It was a windows app before Apple took the trademark, ran it on Cyrix 586 and 56.6k modem. I think my friends and I were about 17-18? We'd connect with random strangers around the world, then realized We had absolutely nothing to talk about. I imagine it might go better now that I'm not a horribly awkward teenager and have learned some small talk and open ended questions :)

Edit : probably this thing: https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=1111&utm_... Officially "internet phone" but I'm fairly certain app / people called it IPhone (first two letters capital).

Interesting concept tried waiting but no voice came up, but this could be great if distribution makes it.

I just spoke with someone. Pleasant conversation. I stupidly pressed refresh which cut the call! My bad

LMAO I'm not using it. No, I don't allow microphone access.

most "talk to strangers" apps collect your gender, avatar, age. they want a profile. this one refuses. no name, no handle, nothing. you're just a voice. built on pure webrtc — the server brokers the connection then gets out of the way. audio is peer-to-peer. nothing logged, nothing stored, nothing happened. it's one php file.
