We recently launched Pastime.LIVE, we connect seniors (mostly boomers)in small video chat groups (3-4 participant),started doing this for each day On 6:00 PM EST) to solve liquidity, so far going amazingly well (retention and engagement are fantastic and best part of it, its really doing something good (people enjoy it - when they don't have many options to have real conversations) , would love to get the community feedback and ideas on scaling (looking also to do B2B2C (not just B2C) , thanks! https://pastime.live/



Super pedantic bit of feedback: Check the punctuation on your <p> level text. For example, the "sign up" section isn't punctuated, but the "invitation" and "join with a click" sections are. Same with "we sharpen our minds".


I’ve imagined this kind of solution before, great to see someone doing it. Nice work! How does the grouping work? Is it random each time?


I imagine old people would not want a senior version of chatroulette but rather meet up regularly with people they can connect with.
