01 - Problem

Social connections felt distant, random, and impersonal

Traditional chat apps matched users randomly or based on profiles alone, ignoring real-world proximity. People wanted to connect with nearby individuals for spontaneous meetups, local events, or community support, but lacked safe, location-aware platforms.

Authentication was often cumbersome, profiles static, and real-time interaction unreliable. No tools existed for admins to monitor safety or for users to share media seamlessly while chatting.

Problem
01
No Proximity-Based Matching
Chats started with strangers far away, no local relevance or serendipity.
02
Weak Real-Time Experience
Delayed messages, no live typing/location sharing, and poor media handling.
03
Limited Safety & Control
No admin oversight, weak auth recovery, and no analytics for community health.
02 - Constraints
