I built an app to solve a problem I had: How do I make friends as an adult?

It's called Boba: https://www.getboba.xyz/

- Boba is not a dating app.

- A quality community is everything. The platform will always be invite-only. Alternatively, new users may fill out an application to join the waitlist; all applications are reviewed manually. There's also a rating system - users who consistently receive low ratings after their meet ups will be banned.

- No more swiping, going through a ton of profiles, or wondering when you'll meet in person. Our algorithm will find someone just for you who also wants to get boba in the next 36 hours. You cannot chat with a match until you both propose your availability (boba place + time) for the next day.

- I'm aware that not everyone likes or can drink boba, but I had to start somewhere. If this app works, I can easily build Beer, Brunch, Ramen, etc.

" If you like to talk a lot but don't like to listen when other people are talking, this is not the app for you - go find people to mansplain to somewhere else." What if you're a woman who likes to talk a lot but doesn't like to listen when other people are talking, are you allowed to use the app?
