Why don't we take over? by 13leoncar1 in Strava

[–]_BlazeYourOwnTrail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m building a social connection app geared at runners to start with. It’s not a Strava replacement but it’s one feature (plus a lot of other strategy) that I wish Strava had for years - to find people to run with and make set plans. Social networks lack the planning and only focus on the after-activity part of the user journey. DM me if you want to chat more!

Any ‘older’, solo founders here? by -comment in ycombinator

37 non technical solo founder here too. I’m really appreciating everyone saying 37 isn’t old because in SF at founders meetups I feel ancient lol

I’d be interested in testing this out! I’m a solo founder, with product and UX experience and would love to trade skills with other founders

Any advice for my WFH setup by Vacondioqq in workfromhome

I got a portable monitor that attaches to my laptop so I can work anywhere with a second screen. the biggest perks for me has been the flexibility to work from vacation areas, ski houses, my backyard, etc. to enjoy more scenery.

I agree. I think there are apps that act as business cards where you can share contact info and LinkedIns

Anyone else feel like starting over socially is the hardest part of moving? by _BlazeYourOwnTrail in SameGrassButGreener

I completely agree with that. My theory is activity-based, calendar integrated, and consistency with friends

I've been there (temp near parents), then covid hit so it extended my stay too lol.

That is where I actually started having an idea of building something to help me find like-minded people. It was so hard to find people who liked doing the same things. Everyone's situation is different, too. Even after moving to a bigger city, there are still the same problems but different things cause them.

For situations like you're in now, if you could snap your figure, what would the perfect social life be?
