Interesting, will try it!

interesting idea, you should update the copy to have non-AI like writing though. It reads very AI generated atm.

Appreciate the honesty, I'll rewrite the landing copy today, it's clearly not landing right. Thanks for flagging

How much will be her hourly rate? Can Indians be excluded?

AI generated page, no links to who created it, what they do, and somehow making it to HN front page.

Yeah Im pretty sure gambling the HN frontpage is just a small transaction away. How else would this, sorry for my english, half finished, vibe coded bull get so far

There was a similar service that I participated in for a couple of years back in ~2019 that was free. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it right now though to check and see if it's still free.

Edit: Went through my LinkedIn connections to see when I connected with some people that I remembered from the service, turns out it was 2021 that I participated. Was able to cross reference the connection dates with my calendar and found it was Lunch Club (https://lunchclub.com). It looks like it is still free.

Yes I used Lunchclub as well with some good and bad connection.

The reason I mentioned pricing now is because of OP message: ` first paid cycle just went out`

Cool idea, Just a heads up, your google single sign on isn't very descriptive

Good catch, that's a Google Cloud console config I hadn't finished, fixing now. Thanks for testing all the way through signup

If there are 10 people on a social network, are you allowed to call it "curated"?

Great idea! Would definitely sign up if I was living in London. Whats the verification process for sign ups btw?

I love the idea of getting out of the "office" (in my case work from home) to meet people for real eye contact, discussions without technology, etc. I went through my LinkedIn contacts a year ago and filtered to those in my city. From that list I contacted a couple of people each day in an effort to meet for coffee, lunch, or adult beverages. It was excellent to have good conversations without a phone or laptop in hand.

For some reason on first read I thought this was solely for people who played the london system in chess.
