With any product created, you'll have the potential of having trolls. I'm sure even 7 cups has it too. And generally trolls don't attack vulnerable people to the point where they're using proxy or VPN's. Let alone on voice calls.

There's not much data of how unhappy 7 cups members are (maybe they're happy).

But neither of those reasons are good enough to NOT try something. Because you won't know if you're gonna have trolls or if your users will have a better experience from a competitor unless you try it.

Hey, jwise. I'm gonna call you Justin wise.

Seems like everyone suddenly is having this idea now lol. Hopefully you don't delete your comment after I respond like the last two guys.

Well, Justin 1. It may seem like a recipe for disaster and we won't say that every interaction will be golden. That's why we have a review system to make sure there's no trolls and everyone is being nice. And we also have a key feature on our current build, which is 'find help' or 'help'.

2. We think 7 cups isn't doing it efficiently. They are chat based and their listeners have to go through a sign up process that takes too long. We want things on demand. And voice.

Thanks for your feedback!

Do you mind elaborating on your comment a bit more?

Suicide hotline is very inefficient. Anyone who has ever called them will tell you that it's like calling the police on yourself because they force you to do certain things (like keep a watch on you (like sending the police to your house).

Sometimes users just want another human being to talk to them and hear their problems, and possibly give advice too.

Thanks so much for your positive feedback! We thought of this idea not long ago and already started building it.

We do not plan on charging anyone for the usage of this app.

Monetization isn't exactly our FIRST priority (user experience is for now), but we do have some ideas behind it. For examples, ads can easily bring in revenue if needed. Or even qualified trained therapist are able to provide 'exceptionally higher' help for a fee (this is further in the future of course).

It would be random at first to bring in users (gotta get them somehow), but as our user base continues to grow larger we will be creating categories (school, relationships, family, ect.)
