Can anyone confirm that older iOS devices are affected as well or was this introduced at a later point?

You make a profit by getting other people's advice in return. Our business model is not going to be to sell your data. But of course, despite it's not the focus right now, we'll have a fair and sustainable one in the long run so that everyone is happy.

Also nice – I slightly altered that wording since, what do you think?

Take a look at my answer above :)

Sorry, haven't seen this question :-O We will not sell data and we will create a business model without it. Also, we firmly believe that the GDPR is a great step forward for humanity and that privacy should be a fundamental human right. We will build a business model that accounts for that.

Thank you for the bug and typo reports!

Agree with 1. The thinking is that your knowledge is now readily available for you and you can use it to get other people's hard-won knowledge in exchange.

A shared whiteboard is a great idea!

Interesting! :)

Hm, good idea :)

Yes :)

It doesn't. We will not sell data. Right now we are really focused on the best product and we will find a fair and sustainable business model when it's ready.

Thank you for your thoughts and the bug report – just committed the fix

Agree with 2! Can you elaborate on 3) ?

Technically, yes

I agree. Thanks for bringing this up – it's definitely something we think about.

I agree. I also really like every approach that does not discourage relationships being formed and being taken offline or somewhere else :)

While you can ask any question on Coffee Chat (everything is acceptable), I agree!

This is where Coffee Chat helps the most, and it has the potential to help everyone of us. We constantly worry about some complex problem with no clear answer – I bet you, even you do. While you can google the complicated problems and get the answer, you will get contradictory, and generic answers to complex questions.

Most of us have a small group of people we speak with a lot, and we discuss those complex problems with those people. But these people naturally have only few areas of expertise. Connecting you with more expertise to discuss difficult questions is where coffee chat comes in.

A coffee chat is a brief interaction between two people who don't know each other. If you like the other person, you can stay in touch. But we are very much focused on frequently connecting you with new people for new topics. People have new questions all the time – I think that's why we didn't face "the Homejoy issue" yet.

We'll do everything we can. :)

We agree!

Thank you for the hint! We urgently need frontend dev support :)

Describe yourself a little bit – we'll invite you as soon as possible, but asked for expertise helps us to answer requests internally :)

Hey! Thank you for pointing that out! We have now added info@ as an address. :)

Not selling data (see other FAQ). Probably the first two (at a later stage). Currently, Coffee Chat is completely free.

This is great news – it makes the service economy more ethical. If a negative rating is left only when people were truly dissatisfied with the ride, and not every missing smile or snippy response receives assessment like in the dystopian Netflix show Black Mirror, we are actually treating our service contractors as humans.

I also think it's completely fine that people are rating apps and toasters more negatively, because most of the time, the source of dissatisfaction (e.g. a bug) can be weeded out once and for all, while being an Uber driver is emotional work 10 hours a day.
