Strango

Hi Product Hunt! 👋

I’m the developer behind Strango.live. I built this because I felt that the 'social' part of social media was disappearing behind algorithms and ad-filled feeds. I wanted to bring back the era of the internet where you could just strike up a conversation with a stranger and learn something new—without the 5-minute 'onboarding' process or giving away your phone number.

The Problem with 'Random' We’ve all seen random chat sites, but they usually have one major flaw: it's a total gamble. You spend half your time skipping through connections because you have nothing in common.

The Strango Solution: Interest-Based Matching This is where Strango is different. I’ve implemented a matching engine that lets you choose a Vibe.

Sports Fans: Connect with someone to debate last night’s game.

Music Lovers: Share what’s on your playlist or find a new genre.

Travelers: Get real-world advice from people living in the cities you want to visit.

Tech Enthusiasts: Geeks like me can talk about new frameworks or AI developments.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can still go completely random, but the interest filters ensure that your conversations start with common ground.

Built for Privacy and Speed As a full-stack developer, my priority was performance and privacy.

No Login Required: You don’t need an account. You just enter and talk.

Zero Data Footprint: We don't store your voice or your data. Once the call is over, the connection is gone.

Low Latency: I’ve optimized the voice protocol to ensure that even if you’re talking to someone on the other side of the planet, it feels like they’re sitting right next to you.

Why I Need Your Feedback Strango is currently in its early stages, and I want to build it with this community.

How does the voice quality feel on your mobile vs. desktop?

What features would make you come back every day?

I’ll be here all day to answer your questions and chat. Let’s make the internet a little more human again.

Thanks for the support! 🚀
