Show HN: Frenemy.live, Matching People for Voice Calls (frenemy.live)
1 points by BKirkpatrick 1591 days ago
Hi HN, long time reader but first time poster.

I've been working on frenemy.live since I first started wfh some time back and realized how isolating it could be. With some inspiration from podcasts, Discord, Omegle and a reality tv show I came up with the idea of matching people for voice calls based on their opinions. These opinions are based on custom statements that I have thought of but are definitely not set in stone and I am open to suggestions. My hope is that frenemy.live facilitates respectful conversation and maybe leads to lasting relationships.

So about the technical stuff, the app is written with Elixir and Phoenix with a little NodeJS. I chose this stack after looking into Elixir's fault tolerance and capacity for concurrency, its pub-sub features (which really came in handy) and Phoenix LiveView.

Constructive feedback is more than welcome and I hope you like the app. (Please don't give it the kiss of death)

Oh I have also created this discord in case any hiccups happen and people need to find each other. Or you want to report any bugs. https://discord.gg/f3FJUv2J
