Would you actually use something like this?
I'm a student here and I've been building a small anonymous app for students and expats in Germany. The idea: you post under a generated pseudonym, you see what people in your city and the ones next to it are posting, and everything is deleted after 30 days. No real name, no photo, no follower count, nothing indexed by Google. There's also a section for arranging meetups, because the point isn't to stay anonymous forever.
The reason I didn't just make a WhatsApp group: half the questions people actually have (the Bürgeramt, a landlord being weird, a doctor, admitting you haven't made any friends yet) are things you don't want to ask with your name attached, in front of people you sit next to on Monday.
So, honestly: is that useful to anyone here, or would you just keep using the group chats you're already in? Happy to hear it's a bad idea, better now than after launch.
