Chatterrapp (YC SUS17) beta – Talk to people having similar interests
I am Amit, Co-Founder of Chatterrapp (https://chatterrapp.com). We are building a platform to let users have video chat with others sharing similar interests. Currently we are accepting sign ups for our Beta product. We tried many of existing platforms similar to ours and came across some major flaws like: - annoying chatbots posing as real users - obscene/offensive behaviour - irrelevant matches - no regard for user’s preferences/interests - non-persistent user profiles So we went ahead and surveyed as well as interviewed hundreds of potential users and found a common…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I am Amit, Co-Founder of Chatterrapp (https://chatterrapp.com). We are building a platform to let users have video chat with others sharing similar interests. Currently we are accepting sign ups for our Beta product. We tried many of existing platforms similar to ours and came across some major flaws like: - annoying chatbots posing as real users - obscene/offensive behaviour - irrelevant matches - no regard for user’s preferences/interests - non-persistent user profiles So we went ahead and surveyed as well as interviewed hundreds of potential users and found a common theme - users went to these platforms with some specific goals and expectations in mind and the majority (70%) said that they would want to talk to people outside their circle who share similar interests; but, no existing platform solves this problem. People preferred talking about a topic with strangers because their friend/family circle don’t share similar interests (80%) or they were uncomfortable discussing that topic with their friend/family circle (67%). In the survey, we also asked people to share their interests that they would like to talk about and some of the most popular ones were Sports, Game of Thrones, Music, Bitcoin, Politics, Startups, Diversity in Tech, etc. So, I humbly request you all to sign up for our beta (it is crappy, I know) and share your interests so that we can start matching you with others sharing similar interests and let you talk your heart out. Promising you some really fun, exciting and serendipitous encounters. Happy to answer and questions and looking forward to the feedbacks!

Hi HN, I built this out of frustration of the evergrowing list of AI models and features to try and to fit my workflow. The visual approach clicks for me so i went with it, it provides more freedom and control of the outcome, because predictable results and increased productivity is what I’m after when using conversational AI. The app is packed with features, my most used are prompt library, voice input and text search, narration is useful too. The app is local-first and works right in the browser, no sign up needed and it's absolutely free to try. BYOAK – bring your own API Keys. Let me…

I previously did a Show HN late Dec 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25470672 That was a great experience and in the past year I continued to develop the site to bring it to a level of stability and maturity that I felt necessary for it to have a chance to succeed. Sqwok is all about answering the question: Can we have better open conversations on the internet? I wasn’t satisfied with the existing means of discussing topics such as culture, history, politics, and technology through threaded comments, and was simultaneously impressed with Slack bringing the IRC…

This is something fun I’ve been hacking on recently: ridiculously simple group chat. Go to http://faces.io and then get your friends to do the same. That’s it! :-D Currently works best in Chrome. It’s definitely beta status at best. Audio can get weird—be ready to mute. ;-) Let me know what you think!
