Yeah Im pretty sure gambling the HN frontpage is just a small transaction away. How else would this, sorry for my english, half finished, vibe coded bull get so far
There was a similar service that I participated in for a couple of years back in ~2019 that was free. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it right now though to check and see if it's still free.
Built this after a stretch of feeling oddly isolated despite being surrounded by people — the usual thing where everyone's busy, plans keep falling through, and it's easier to stay in than make the effort to meet someone new.
Pause matches you with one person a week — coffee, a skill swap, or a quiet cowork session — based on shared interests. No swiping, no group chats that go nowhere. You show up, we handle who and where.
It's live in London now, first paid cycle just went out. Feedback very welcome, especially on the matching logic — that's the part I'm least sure I've gotten right yet. Happy to answer anything about how it works or what's next.
AI generated page, no links to who created it, what they do, and somehow making it to HN front page.

No link to pricing as well :-)

interesting idea, you should update the copy to have non-AI like writing though. It reads very AI generated atm.
Appreciate the honesty, I'll rewrite the landing copy today, it's clearly not landing right. Thanks for flagging
Great idea! Would definitely sign up if I was living in London. Whats the verification process for sign ups btw?

Cool idea, Just a heads up, your google single sign on isn't very descriptive

Good catch, that's a Google Cloud console config I hadn't finished, fixing now. Thanks for testing all the way through signup
If there are 10 people on a social network, are you allowed to call it "curated"?

Interesting, will try it!
Appreciate it, let me know how it goes!
