Mixely – An offline social network

14 pointsokcoker11 comments

I've been working on this side project on and off for about 2 years now. We are kinda keeping things exclusive for now but we already have over 300 users mostly by inviting people from communities like this to join and provide feedback.

If you're a curious person or just an early adopter of new things, let us know what you think about http://mixely.com/.

There's also a medium article that goes more in depth here https://medium.com/@razmakhin/friendship-for-everyone-d320be21fdee

Thanks, Sean

Posts without URLs get penalized. You'd be better off posting a story with the url, then adding your text as a comment to the thread.

However, people here are more likely to respond favorably if there's something they can try now (without requesting an invite) or at least some in-depth detail about it.

Thanks for the tip.

Thank you sir!

This reads like a hybrid of meetup.com...

The description of "An offline social network" will make some folks think of something else entirely.

Maybe another description without the word "social" or "offline" might work.

Phantom_oracle, I've been looking for your contact info to ask you about your experience with a part time recruiter. What's the best way to get in touch with you?

Yes, this is more like Meetup for more personal connections. Obviously, that’s a simplified way of saying what Mixely truly is.

Agreed on your offline social network comment. We’re already changing it.

This is a brilliant idea - I just have this feeling something terrible is going to happen as a result of the scaling process. Something about posting event details to a public place...

Thanks, I’m glad you like it.

That’s an even stronger concern with geolocation-type technologies that show your physical location live. It can get of creepy quickly, but I'm 100% with you. That being said, it's easier not to do something because you're worried something bad might happen. Take more risks :)

The website does not give any details on how this works. Neither does the About page.

Good point. Thanks for the feedback!
