Hey PH! I'm Matt, the maker of Velour. I built this because I kept reading about the loneliness epidemic and realized that every "solution" was just... another app that kept you on a screen. Velour is the opposite: it exists to get you off your phone and into a room with real humans doing something you both enjoy. The core idea is dead simple — shared activities are how friendships actually form. Not profiles, not DMs, not feeds. You just show up, do the thing, and talk to people who showed up too. A few things I'd love your feedback on: Does the onboarding feel light enough? (We deliberately ask almost nothing) What activities would you want to see in your city? Would you host a gathering? What's your hesitation? Happy to answer anything. And if you're in Omaha — come find me at a board game night.
