Why this site exits

How did it start?

This project started early 2020, mostly I've worked on it in my spare time. I made this site because I found it difficult to find interesting people to talk to online. I once had the most awesome friend, that enriched my life greatly, and I really think good friends make everything better on our short adventure we call life. It's a great honour to be making the site for all of you, and honestly, making real friendships is something that makes me really proud! I just want to make the world a better place, I truely do but I leave it upto yourself to judge that. Working on this site helped me get through some tough times myself, almost feels like the first project I've worked on in my life that I truely believe in and seems to be useful for others.

I promise never to monetize (unless it's to your benefit), I'll never do generic advertising on here (but I might just tell you about my favorite brand of peanut butter). The goal is definitely not to make money with this. And thanks to technological innovation (or the efficient code) the running costs are just like $10/month :D. This site is for all of you, all of us. The internet can be an awesome place if we make it. One small bit at a time!

Whats the status now?

It's July 2025 that I'm writing this now... I've finally picked up this project again, have redesigned a bunch of things and I hope to keep working on it as time goes on. I definitely rushed the initial project in 2020 trying to onboard all the users during the pandemic, which meant the code quality was pretty bad on top of me having several life things to deal with, at one point I even thought of shutting down the project due to the decline in user activity and not able to manage it anymore. Thankfully that is not the case anymore, and hopefully this can become a small sustainable project over the coming years.
