Most social products seem to optimize for one thing: keeping you looking at more content. We’re experimenting with the opposite. Nakala helps you discover people based on interests, intentions, availability and what’s happening around you — then tries to move the interaction toward an actual conversation, Circle or activity. The product loop is basically: Discover someone → talk → do something together → reconnect. No obsession with follower counts or becoming a creator. We’re starting with Dakar and Paris. I’m curious about one thing in particular: If you opened a new social app today, what would it need to do in the first 5 minutes for you to keep it installed? Happy to share screenshots if useful.   submitted by   /u/mhkanikov [link]   [comments]
