chaffie··on Advice on struggling to build a community for my social app against loneliness
Thank you! Yeah I have done a few of these interviews based on those I actually designed the app. Issue now seems to be the demand issue, because not much is happening people are less willing to create hangouts. Most people I interviewed now said there is not enough happening and thats why they are a bit scared to create their own hangouts

That is what I initially thought! But turned out when i organised a few of these hangouts myself people turned out to be quite social. Partly because they where already able to chat before hand.

Good tip! Right now I focus the app more on helping you build your social circle if you feel like it is not big enough or you want to switch things up

Hi Simne thanks for the advice, would love to connect. How can I reach you?

Hey everyone!

I build a social app for people that are lonely and looking for other people around them to hangout with.

Right now I am struggling to build a community around it. I am more of a developer/product manager than a business person. So I dont think I would be the right person to help this product get to the public.

What should I do, any advice?
