    Hi,

    We built this over the course the last 4 months. We hated misinformation, we hated bots, we hated loneliness, we hated corporate infiltration, we hated the destruction of our kids' mental health. Read our Declaration of Principles here: https://www.olivers.army/declaration

    Requester Mode -> Create and activate Requests to be sent and seen by anyone in "Responder Mode"

    Responder Mode -> Respond to active Requests that get sent your way. You can filter requests by maturity, creativity and some safety stuff. More clever filters in future.

    Observation Deck -> Watch the most interesting conversations happen. We're still building this.

    We wanted an operating system type feel. We went with window management as we thought this was the most intuitive.

    We're running with this tagline for now: "A next-generation social platform that connects people through real time conversations." but we think it's corny and want a new one; suggestions welcome.

    Have a great Wednesday HN! It's a privilege to be here. -Brandon
