I could use a few sharp eyes. I'm building SeaWingman, a friendship app for expats and travelers in Southeast Asia. The whole idea: making real friends in a new city, explicitly not dating location-based discovery, group chats, and real-world meetups, so "I don't know anyone here" turns into actual plans.
It's early, so I'm after honest feedback more than praise. Three things I'd especially love a read on:
I'm building SeaWingman (a friendship app for Southeast Asia) and I keep circling one thing adult friendship in a new country is weirdly hard, and most advice is "just put yourself out there," which isn't a plan. If you've lived or traveled abroad: what actually worked? Meetups, a hobby, an app, dumb luck? Collecting real answers, not theory.

Hi Product Hunt,
I'm Shawn, the founder of SeaWingman.
Frequent traveler to Thailand and Souteast Asia. Looking to retire and live in Thailand. Built this app to help meet new people.
Southeast Asia has an enormous expat population, but meeting people still comes down to luck. The right bar, the right Facebook group, the right stranger who happens to be friendly that night. Everyone's in the same position and nobody has a way to find each other.
SeaWingman is built for exactly that. Verified profile, see who's around in your city, connect with people who are actually looking to meet up. It's live now across Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Manila and Bali.
ā Free with up to 10 friends. You shouldn't have to pay to find out whether anyone's around in your city.
If you've landed somewhere new and had to start from zero, I'd like to hear how you handled it ā that's the part I'm still designing
