Love this. I do think there should be more opportunities to connect people across the world. I think if more people connected directly there be less faith in the filtered messages we get from our media and politicians.

To the creator of this: - Thanks for creating!

- A small recommendation: maybe a little text paragraph on the landing page explaining it might warm people up a bit as to what to expect. Doesn’t need to be much and doesn’t need to be paragraphs of marketing babble. Actually, please def no to marketing babble… lol. But I think we’re conditioned to get a little explanation before jumping in.

Not a critique at all! I love this. And its just my 2 cents.




Agreed! I ended up talking with someone halfway around the world for an hour.

We discussed what we did, some interesting differences... and it also turned out that everyone everywhere has at least a few gripes about their project management system (whatever it is).

We're all more alike than we are different. :) Thanks to author for making this!

PS: If HNers are uncomfortable talking to strangers via voice, maybe write out a script with some discussion prompts. It's a learnable skill, and something you can absolutely get better at! (Said as someone who started with crippling fear of talking to strangers, into my 20s)


Agreed.

If voice chat isn’t your thing: talkkshopp.com
