It's always a great experience meeting a fellow hunter IRL. But it doesn't happen very often and we have to wait for meetups to be organized in our cities. So we decided to build something that makes it super easy to meet hunters near you for spontaneous meetups. Caution : Onboarding process is a little long for a reason. Please don't give up🙈

More than 2 years ago, we launched 'Glynk', a platform to connect like-minded people across the globe. Though it has great levels of engagement, most users (especially women) have often complained of discomfort in meeting total strangers on an app and they eventually leave. This despite putting strict privacy and authenticity measures in place. As we dug deeper and spoke to our users, most of them pointed at the lack of trust. After much thought and interaction with our users, we figured that closed communities had a characteristic of implicit trust but people remained quite disconnected. That's how Milo happened - an app to bring members in closed communities, closer. Disclaimer (🙈): We have a deliberately long onboarding process that is used to create an experience based on the commonalities. Features: 👑Rich member directory with filters that will help you look for community members by hometown, college, workplace in addition to interests. 👋Automatically created group chats based on your profile info. 👌Spontaneous meetups: Got some free time? 🧐Shake your phone📱 Meet a community member😻 I've created a community for the Product Hunt community. Please try the app and give your valuable feedback. I will be around the whole day to answer your questions. Use community code: PRODUCTHUNT

I liked the idea and the product looks clean and works really well. There are two things I was wondering about though. First, the list of activities is limited, I might want to do something completely different than one of these so maybe an option to customize or add activities can work better? Also, the groups that were created were really good but is there a way for me to add my own network to one of them or a way for me to create a personal group?

@ayushi_pareek1 Thanks Ayushi! Activities are based on some user surveys that we did. We would like to add/remove activities based on feedback. We would also like to give the controls to the community managers to add the activities of their choice. Creating your own groups is on top of our list and is coming up next 🚀

Like the concept. A quick idea, can you pull the data from LinkedIn or Angel? That way I don't have to go through the onboarding process. Shake thing is pretty cool though.

@niranjan_s That's something we flirted with in the beginning. We skipped it for this version only because of come technical constraints. A Product Hunt login was something we were looking to add. If the PH community size grows on Milo, we will definitely prioritise it over other features.

Looks great and refreshing. I see you also have group chat feature but it doesn't let me create my own groups. Any plans for it in future?

@akashgupta112 Thanks! You can filter people from the Discover tab based on interests. We are looking to add skills as well as give people a way to share those skills, for goodwill or money. Stay tuned!

There is definitely a need for such a product in the market and if it reaches the right audiences, I have a feeling it will do extremely well especially for people like me who do not like planned meetups. Good luck! I will be following the product closely and hopefully get a chance to meet some of you guys soon.

Pros:

Love the shake and meet feature and meeting people whenever you are free.

Cons:

On-boarding is too long but eventually it makes sense when you see automatic groups are created basis the information.
