New simple “social network” idea:

Paste in a list of your interests (maybe use a list of subreddits you’re subscribed to, or you X inferred interest list)

And it will suggest people to chat with ranked by most common interests.

Could be a weekend project. Anyone want to team up?

Neat idea. I think the challenge with social networks isn’t the technical implementation, but actually getting people to regularly engage with it.
If you build this I will come.

Something like feeding your Reddit username to

And suggest other users to chat to based on the analysis

Has been on my list for a long time. Would love to build it. Email in profile.
I think you invented facebook
