Remember when people used to visit the people they care to listen to, and would actually sit down, and physically listen to them? But now our lives are too busy and filled with non-stop schedules so we just don't have time anymore. And even if we did have time, we'd feel like we were wasting time. We're missing something vital in life with all this technology running it for us. I think this app is inspired by the developers realizing we need that basic human need, but without fully realizing what it is. So they came up with a way to sort of do the exact same thing, but asynchronously, and as a social media app.
