I think this is a pretty interesting idea.

Someone mentioned why not just follow subreddits. I noticed that subreddits are often a collection of the extremes of a hobby or interest. I would say that I'm a collection of interest that make up my unique personality, while subreddits often have people that are really deep into a specific topic.

One thing to note about your idea, is I've used apps in the past that connect you with people that you share interest with, but I often flake when it comes to actually meeting with people in person... I wonder if this is a common trend? I feel like I almost ended up using them as a self validation.... but never followed through much with meeting people.



Hearing friends talking about flaking, I would say it is a very common theme. I would also think, that you may not want to meet up with that person, because either not in the same city, or because you may match with a lot of different people which also may change over time.

I also thought of it more like a self-validation thing, a source of more information, recommendations, etc. What you would get back may be an online conversation or a feed of relevant websites.


What are examples of apps that connect you with people with similar interests? I mean, not dating, right?
