Karpathy recently built Hackertube.I watch a lot of Youtube on my TV and wanted to replace that with hackertube, so I built a roku app for this.I have not published it to Roku store yet, but it is available for sideload.
The project is still live but in retrospect I would have started with a niche audience & let them decide on a time before hand. Then start on demand matching only when the site reached a critical mass of users.
On a side note I am impressed that your post reached the top page & got >150 upvotes. When I tried posting I was only able to get 3-5 upvotes :/
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.
This is a chill video chat site with no agenda. Unlike other social medias there is no pressure to get followers, likes or view counts. Dial in whenever you have some time and talk to people near you about your hobbies.
How it works - As a user, you join a room where you will be connected with at most 9 people who live within xx miles of you. (The more people join, the smaller xx becomes)
Coming soon - Ability to create topics to streamline conversations (similar to subreddits).
Please try it out & let me know what you think. Feedbacks & suggestions are most welcome.
TL;dr: Reddit, but video based & only with people near you or say a meetup.com that runs 24x7 online.
Making new friends as an adult is hard. So, I built neartribe to help people find & connect with others online that live near them. The idea is to foster conversations online with people near them which can then hopefully lead to offline, real world friendships.

Coming soon - Ability to create topics to streamline conversations (similar to subreddits) & reduce distance threshold to connect you to only people within 10 miles of you.
