Is this for making new friends or catching up with old ones?
Helena Merk
@calum_moore Both!! That's part of what get's me REALLY excited about the app. You start with a room of people you know, but then they all have the ability to add their friends. Soon your room will have 200 people! Everyone you get matched with will be a friend or friend of a friend :)

@shikhar_agrawal1 Thanks Shikhar! We're live on the iOS Appstore and working on releasing Android. Can't wait for you try it :) Would love to hear feedback!

Awesome app! I love the concept of limiting calls to 2 minutes - absolutely a game changer in terms of efficient communication. Great job!
Helena Merk
@lincoln_roth Thanks! It seemed arbitrary at first, but the more we "dogfooded" our own product, the more we fell in love with the format.
Gary Lin
Awesome product. Who've you found your target users to be so far?
Helena Merk
@garymlin Thank you! We've found with the coronavirus shutting down schools, high school and college kids are both looking for new ways to feel connected
Sergei Lepchenkov
Great project! Congruts!
Brian Li
@lepchenkov Thank you!!!
Johan Mathe
Amazing product! Congrats Helena and Team!
Helena Merk
@johan_mathe Thank you for the support!!
Rory Jeffries
Great idea! How did you decide on 2 minutes?
Helena Merk
@roryjeffries started kinda as an arbitrary number! Tested it on ourselves, and fell in love with the time-boxed nature. It adds a perfect level of adrenaline rush, while also never leaving a conversation hanging or awkward.
Rory Jeffries
@helenamerk That's great - 2 mins seems perfect to me
Eric Tay
Love the idea of catching a glimpse into my friends' life. Definitely neglect a ton of relationships when life gets too busy!
Helena Merk
@eric_tay2 This makes it easy for busy people to keep friendships 😅

Pretty neat how it turns video chatting your friends from this big production to something you can just do on the fly!
Helena Merk
@leon_gh thank you!! We envision you jump to Glimpse your friends for an authentic catchup, rather than scrolling through IG/FB or linkedin/email.
