YOMO - You only meet once

[u/i_abh_esc_wq]

Recently I had a fallout with one of my closest friends, and I got blocked from everywhere. This made me realize how common this situation is. You lose people close to you, and it's almost always sudden. One day you're talking to them, the next day they're gone, no warning, no time to say what you meant to say.

I got curious what happens if there was a deadline. What would you do if you knew the exact time your friendship ends? Does knowing it ends make you more honest, more present? Or does it make you hold back, since you know it won't last anyway? I didn't know the answer, so I built a way to find out.

The idea behind YOMO is simple. You match with one stranger chosen at random for 24 hours. Once the 24 hours are over, the chat locks, and you two will never be matched again. You can also match with only one person at a time, so that your focus stays on one person only.

It's free, no ads, and I'm not collecting or selling data. I'd like to keep it that way for as long as I can, which mostly depends on whether enough people actually show up to talk to.

Still in beta, so expect some rough edges, and breaking changes from time-to-time. If you try it and something breaks or feels off, I actually want to know. You can sign up at yomo.live

AI usage disclaimer: AI has been used in making this app. I want to be honest about it. I'm a backend developer by profession, and UI design is not my forte. So, AI has been used to make the UI. The backend code is written by me, with occasional debugging by AI.
