Looks nice as a concept (a bit discriminatory though) but there’s a target market problem: as opposed to youngsters older people actually know how to meet people irl and they don’t need a smartphone for that 😂

Oh no, please tell me what do you mean by discriminatory. This was not my intend.

Well e.g a grandma living in my neighborhood, in a house all by herself, no direct neighbors around to reach per foot, she cannot drive, has weak feet, I wonder HOW she could meet someone. Only when people are coming to her. Or maybe when she would live in the city or in an area with very good infrastructure. And there are many of them especially in country side.

Not everyone wants to go to facilities or can effort them. And her body only gets weaker.

Good that she has her daughter visiting on a regular basis.
