And we often struggle to make time for the people that matter most to us. According to a Harvard study from 2021, "36% of all Americans [...] feel “serious loneliness.”" [1] We created an app to help people focus on their most personal relationships and guide them through forming more meaningful connections with them, in the hopes to combat the "Loneliness Epidemic". We just…

    friends!forever started in one part as a Ruby on Rails learning project and in another part as a joke. "It would be fun if you could add a friend but couldn’t delete one, huh" is what I told myself at the time. As I was developing it further, I became more fond of the idea and crystallized the concept more. For now, friends!forever is what Twitter was when it first launched (but with 1500 character limit) that focuses solely on staying in touch with people you know in real life, plus a touch of Basecamp. For me, it’s a middle ground between botnet "social" networks and the fediverse that…

    I hope you are doing better today than yesterday. (TLDR in the comments; or enjoy my story :) ) Why: About 11 months ago, I launched my app for the first time on Reddit's r/lonely because I had previously experienced loneliness myself during grad school. I wanted to reach out to people going through similar experiences by providing them with what would’ve helped me in the past. I felt this was an important mission for me and a much more rewarding one than my day job that I quit my job to work on the app full-time. It was necessary because I did not come from a programming background. I…

    Virtual AI friends, personalized to you, that chat you (or don't!) on their own work/sleep schedules based on their timezones. They sometimes initiate chats. They sometimes go silent for hours. Just like real friends. I've been "dogfooding" this for the past week, and I think it's actually kind of neat. It's way better than generically chatting with an LLM. This repo includes a detailed setup wizard. You give it some info about yourself, which can include personal blogs/websites to scrape, github, mastodon, text documents, or just paragraphs you write off the top of your head. It…
