Hey Product Hunt! My name is Brett Knutson and I am the Founder of Hive Social. I originally started Hive Social to solve a problem for my disabled mom. She lost her license a few years ago due to her disability and was stuck at home unable to make new friends. The current solutions available at the time didn't work for her and my goal was to create something that could help her find people nearby that shared her interests. After more thought I realized that everyone has trouble making friends at some point in life, whether it's because you just moved to a new area, you are a freshman in college, etc. Our mission statement is that we believe everyone deserves to be loved, to feel known, and to belong! We are brand new so any feedback and all questions are welcome!! Thanks for the support!

Hey @knutsonbrett love the mission and product. Question: With engaged communities (like @ProductHunt) there needs to be a constant stream of quality content. What is your team doing to ensure that the community always has quality content available?
Brett Knutson
@stvmcg Thanks Steve McGarry! Right now we actually have a contest going for the users who post the most high quality content. The contest runs through the end of this month and the user who posts the most high quality content (posts and comments that bring value to the hive social community) gets $1000. 2nd place gets $500, 3rd place gets $250, and a bunch of random drawings will take place for $100 and other prizes!

Looks great! How far down the roadmap is an Android version? I would assume nothing soon.
Brett Knutson

@nicbaughman what did you think?
Eli Laipson
Brett - is this meant for finding friends nearby or more online?
Brett Knutson
@elilaipson Hey Eli! It's 100% intended to help you find nearby people who share your interests, so you can actually go hang out with new friends! We have also found that many people just enjoy sharing interests with people through the app. It also happens to be a really great place to ask questions because it's separated by topic/subject. Thank you for your support!!

@knutsonbrett Cool thanks
