Coffee with a stranger, matched by topic not looks — would you?

I travel and work solo a lot. The strange part isn't the work — it's standing in a great city at 3pm with nobody to grab a coffee with. Dating apps feel wrong for this. LinkedIn feels worse. "Making friends as an adult" is apparently a whole genre of pain.

So I'm building a small thing and I want your gut reaction before I go further.

The idea: open the app, see a few people near you, right now, who are also open to a real coffee + conversation today. You're not matched by photos or job titles — you're matched by what you actually want to talk about. Pick someone, meet at a public café, talk for an hour, go on with your day.

A few opinionated choices I've made:

• No photos. You're judged by your topic, not your face.

• Gender shown only for safety — never for filtering. This isn't dating.

• Here and now. It's about this city, today, not endless matching.

• One honest hour, then you're free. No follow-obligation, no DMs to maintain.

I genuinely don't know if people want this, so — honestly:

1. Would you ever use it? If not, what's the dealbreaker (safety? awkwardness? "why not just a bar"?)

2. What would make you actually show up to meet a stranger vs. flaking?

Brutal feedback very welcome. I'd rather hear "this is weird" now than after launch. 🙏
