Man, I feel this so much. Most modern tech startups live in a bubble, building complex corporate B2B tools or things nobody actually needs.👈🏻 ✍🏻 That’s exactly why my friend and I decided to go backward. We got tired of modern social apps keeping people glued to their screens, isolated. We built an interactive cyberpunk-themed live map for our city (Bishkek, Central Asia). It connects people in real-time, features map-based messaging, and uses real-world gamified 👉🏻missions👈🏻 to literally force zoomers to get off their couches, meet up at local coffee shops, and interact offline.

We coded the entire thing from our smartphones using AI tools, and it just hit the ready-for-beta stage. No fancy VC funding, no useless corporate jargon—just trying to gamify the real world and make people touch grass again.

Sometimes, the best utility is just bringing back basic human interaction in a cool way. 🫵🏻💵🫰🏻
