We're bringing the 5-minute phone call back.
It's how previous generations got shit done, had time for 5 meetings before breakfast, rarely misunderstood each other, connected with the world, and called strangers for help—with energy to spare for the evening.
I appreciate founders Alfred and David for promptly answering questions and engaging with us users.
I myself cannot possibly think of a scenario where I would allow non-verified strangers to call me unannounced — I would not even consider it as a possibility.
The potential at-scale risk for spam and abuse from fake accounts, no real human verification and no moderation is just unviable as a concept for me.
I'm glad that there is an app like Anyone because people are hungry for an authentic connection online. I like that everyone on the app is a verified person with a photo so you know you're meeting with someone who is aligned with you on same interests, passions and goals. I hope to meet more great people on the app in the coming days!
Love the idea, and I wanted to do something similar 3 years ago, to have short coffee breaks with strangers when COVID was making everyone insane! Amazing that you guys did it!!!
Feedback: I am on the phone, and being able to share Anyone with my friends over the phone seems more interesting than sharing via email or SMS, at least for me, iMessage and Whatsapp have more value these days :)
As a freelancer, I love the flexibility Anyone offers. The ability to set office hours and take calls when convenient is fantastic. The app's design is clean and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate. Switchboard events are a great way to meet like-minded individuals. Thumbs up!
