I got pretty tired of virtual happy hours and social events where there were people I was socially-adjacent to, but not very familiar with that I kept talking over. I've been working on https://mixaba.com https://mixaba.com to help solve that problem. It sorts people into small "rooms" and then shuffles the occupants so you get new people to talk to.
It's currently in MVP and I'd like to add more "fun" features to it to push it further into the social space and keep it out of the enterprise territory that MS Teams and Zoom occupy.
- michealr 6y agoCool, really like this idea, what are you using for the video chat to allow programmatically changing people? and how do you handle the data loads for hosting video? could imagine it could get pricey or is it peer to peer
- andrewicarlson 6y agoThanks! I'm using Twilio's Programmable Video API https://www.twilio.com/docs/video https://www.twilio.com/docs/video so there is a cost, but it's not a pre-provisioned service so it's manageable.
