We were actually looking for a way to improve communication between groups that are organizing going to a festival, and then Telegram released a part of their API that should be able to assist us on this. When trying to build is, we kind of lost our way and ended up with this. It’s gaining a lot of users and we would love to know how this could be improved in order for people to have a nice chatting experience.

So, I tried it. Got some dick pics some weird voice messages but i met a new friend which is nice😄

@stefanpanic9 I highly recommend you to use the /nopics to avoid the dick-pics :). Otherwise use /report to report dick-pickers :-). Hard to fight 'em, but I try.

@machielmolenaar @stefanpanic9 Anyway great product 😄👍

I like the idea I am making a kind of similar app, but i hate that I got 4 times matched with the same person.
Machiel Molenaar
@samgmuller Thanks for the response Samuel, I'm working on a fix for this :)
Karthik Balakrishnan
This is a lot of fun! Though I find myself getting matched with the same person over and over again. Not sure what criteria is used to match people.

@karthikb351 we're working on this problem :)! Great to hear that you enjoy it!
James Brooks
Nice idea! As others have mentioned, you get matched with the same people often. I noticed a lot of users are from Iran, do you have any metrics on this?
Karthik Balakrishnan
@jbrooksuk I've noticed that too! A huge number of people I was connected with were from Iran.

I made something similar a while back called Convoy. It's a fun idea and if it can reach a lot of people, it can be really powerful.

@jsngr yeah it's catching on at the moment, nearly 10000 people who've at least tried the bot!
