Hi Product Hunt! I'm Andrew, and I build Poply on my own.
Random chats felt like a lottery to me: you skip a dozen people before you find someone you actually have something to talk about with. So Poply starts from interests. You pick topics like games, anime, series, languages or city walks, and it pairs you with one person who shares them.
A few things I cared about:
Text first. No camera, no video calls. You can send voice messages if typing isn't your thing.
Photos only when both people agree.
No sign-up to start. Create an account only if you want to add someone as a friend.
18+, with reporting and blocking.
It works in the browser, on Android and iPhone, and the app is available in 14 languages.
I'd love your feedback on two things: how quickly you find someone to talk to, and how the first message feels.
