Hi Makers and Hunters! I barely (try to ) use social media myself. After blindly scrolling through my feed, I'm feeling unhappy and empty. There is so much pressure, judgment, and social cost attached to sharing content with my friends & followers on social media. This never really allowed me to be my authentic self and share things that I care about. My best friend/Co-Founder @chahin_aghrim1 and I realized over the past year that oftentimes it'd be easier for us to be our authentic selves with strangers we just met whether on an airplane or even at a cafe. On Youpendo we can share inspiration, positivity, and dig deeper than we'd normally do on social media. Our main goal is to create a social experience that creates a safe space where we can be our true selves. As mentioned, every message you send out or receive comes from a random person. We tried to visualize this experience by designing our app around paper planes. If you threw a paper plane from a building into a busy street, you’d be curious to see where it went, who got it. You could throw a paper plane multiple times from the same building and it would land at a different spot every single time. So, whenever you send out an image or a short video (throw out a paper plane), you don't know who's going to watch & interact with it (catch a paper plane). What should we build for this app next? Thank you for all the feedback and suggestions. We're looking forward to making improvements/enhancements/addressing feature requests. So thankful for the support of this community! 🙏

Awesome platform to connect with people around the globe especially given the current times. I am sure this provides some really unique insights into the lives of strangers without the pressure that come when posting to a group of friends on the more common social networks.

@foolery You're right! That's what our goal is Tom :)

Recently got off Instagram and been using this app for the past 3 months. I love that I can just share without trying to impress anyone. The app is about spreading positivity and brightening up someone else's day rather than just showing off how great your life is.
