Hi @yosito. I am Piyush, developer of the site & completely understand your hesitation.

The login is gated with Google to keep the trolls out. I don't want this to become another Omegle where every 2nd person you meet is masturbating on camera.

If it helps, no data is shared from your Google login other than your email address which becomes your user-id. We also never email or sell emails EVER.

You're giving emails to Google, and Google provides you value in exchange. That's selling them.

Feel free to suggest an alternative then. I get your stance and tbh I share it, but a service like this needs some sort of real-world gate. I guess you have a devs attention, how would you implement this?
