Images are an possible attack vector, so I would expect some level of processing (and therefore, storage) to be necessary to make this secure.

Of course I got an explicit picture, but thankfully the animated gif did not load. Conversation was good and it wasn't A/V like CR so that was actually nice.

The random stumbling upon another person is a great thing to have to emulate the randomness of meeting someone IRL.

I'll take that into account. I'm glad you like it though :)

I like the concept of the random encounter, but it may need to resolve around something.

Lets say with Artsy, two people get a random piece of art and look at it and discuss it. It would be nice to relate about a common thing somehow. I don't think that I've seen this type of random person thing done with enough existing applications.

Interesting concept. Was surprised by the chat feature, but it actually makes things interesting.

Yeah the first version didn't have chat but it had a large bounce rate because of it.
