Honestly, it came from noticing how you can text a hundred people and still feel lonely. Random stranger chat used to solve that in a weird way - you'd just talk to someone new, no pressure - but most of those sites either died or got sketchy. So I wanted to bring that back, but safer and actually built around finding people you'd click with, not just random noise. The problem I cared about was: how do you meet someone new online without a profile, without swiping, without it feeling forced? With ChitCloak you just get matched based on shared interests and can add people as friends if you vibe. Process-wise, I started out just thinking "random chat but nicer." Along the way I realized safety (easy exits, reporting) mattered just as much as the matching - and the interest-matching itself became the real focus, since that's what makes it an actual conversation instead of two strangers staring at each other.
