Good execution, but i kinda dont like the core concept of gamifying socialization. Its weird.

If i had to put my finger on soemthing id say the most uncomfortable part is bypassing the long term rewards of maintaining a healthy social life in favour of short term gamified rewards. I think alot of tech already does this and its rotting peoples brains. Id rather not go further down this road

I think this core probpem is better solved by having a sense of community, by being able to see the people in your life more pften and having third spaces to interact with them regularly

Obviously thats not something that can be solved with the resources available to a hobby project. And i might be too harsh saying this is braintrot, its obviously coming with good intentions. Idk. I feel like some problems arent jsut not solveable by more tech, but tech is causing them in the first palce
