Hi everyone 👋
I’m Jerry, founder of 50 Feet Away.
I built this because I was frustrated with how disconnected social apps feel from real life. We scroll endlessly, but we rarely know who’s actually around us.

It’s not a dating app — it’s more like a social awareness tool for the real world.
The hardest problem we’re working on right now is density. Like any location-based network, it’s only powerful when your area is active.
I’d genuinely love feedback on:
• Cold start strategies
• Distribution tactics for local-first products
• Messaging clarity
Thanks for checking it out. I’ll be here answering questions all day.
