Show HN: I made an app for large group video calls where people shuffle around

Feature suggestion!

Allow two participant types, with separate links to join the same event, and then add the ability to (best effort) match type 1s with type 2s.

So you could use it for (straight) dating, where the types are male and female, or mentoring/office hours where the types are mentor or mentee, or investor or investee, or like “meet an American” where the type a is American and type b is not, etc, etc, etc..

I also assume it tracks who has already been with who and doesn’t match them up again as long as there are other new people left?

Thank you, that's a very interesting suggestion. I haven't heard that one yet. I like the idea of putting more options behind the shuffling, it could make it more engaging and offer focused-but-not-forced random encounters.
