Solving Seniors Loneliness

10 points by odedeo 4y ago ↗ HN

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/

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.

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".
