What We Stand For
- We encourage everyone to publish personal creative works in the form of articles and videos. It doesn’t have to be perfect – in fact, genuine connections develop out of bonding from imperfections.
- Readers or viewers of the work are prompted with the option to start a personal chat with the creator.
- The first time starting a conversation with someone, you aren’t left with trying to conjure up awkward greetings: We have a bank of discussion prompts that both of you can use to start a meaningful conversation.
- You can search up people to chat to based on your topics of discussion. Our app encourages discussions around mental health, but those preferring to talk about more casual topics such as hobbies are also more than welcome.
Our definition of “social connection” isn’t about quantity – it’s about quality.
In a world where the number of followers far surpasses meaningful connections, we empower people to develop relationships based on trust and vulnerability.
