I wanna cure loneliness

I have been an introvert all my childhood, pretty shy, with a very small group of friends, and I thought I was the only one who felt lonely sometimes. Since joining college, I realised there are so manyyyy people out there(especially in the dev community) who feel lonely a lot of times. I wanna build an app to connect devs. Relationships are what makes our lives fulfilling right. I have the whole idea ready in my mind, and I talked to a couple peeps about my app idea too and they loved it

Apps can only do so much. Organize house parties and events instead, invite people, see the magic happen.

Actually much easier than trying to build an app.

What about an app where peeps can first chat and then meet if the vibe matches. I mean as an introvert female myself I won't just go to a party, I would prefer to chat online 1st

There are already too many platforms to do so, right from grapevine to coffeemug to LinkedIn.

How will your product be different or better?

Hello there, I am not from dev community but finance. Believe me when I say this I have contemplated taking my life at times just because how lonely I feel. Taking to people around is fine but at the end of the day, I am only left with myself and a basic realisation that people around me wont understand me or never cared to understand me.

I relate to this so much and I wish I had some encouraging words to say to you but those all follow the same cringe lines of "things will get better just hold on" yada yada yada Making friends as adults is hard, but if u got just 1 good person in your life, then things might not seem so gloomy

@HardMed95 can relate to you so much! Even to this day I have similar feeling where I believe I am gonna die alone and that scares the shit out of me, not because I am gonna die alone, I totally enjoy my company. What scares me is, I don't understand what I do wrong, I see random people with half ass brains making friends left right and centre whose views around world is just so much away from rationality, empathy etc and here I am who thinks he's better in these things and yet struggles to even hold conversations, let alone escape it
