Hey everyone,
I used Omegle for some lighthearted banter but it has been shutdown abruptly so there are people scrambling to find a good alternative.
I have decided to create a new text only spin off of Omegle as that's the mode I used the most and am familiar with.
Following is what I have built till now:
- Connect to a random stranger.
- Use common likes to enhance partner search.
You can try to initial build on the test server here: https://chatlit.codexn--4v8h.online/
Due to the nature of anonymous chat, the predators are going to come sooner than later. Hence, I have built a MANDATORY LOGIN SYSTEM so as to verify that a real person is using the site. Your personal info (email) will never be used to send you emails or for identification.
What features I have in mind:
- Anonymously add friends. The option becomes available after 10 messages from each partner.
- An option to have video chats. The option becomes available after 10 messages from each partner.
I am meaning to build this service for the folks who are seriously looking for someone to talk to for whatever reason. I just want that all of us are able to find someone who is genuine.
So, here is the feedback I am seeking from the community:
- What key feature do you want in this service?
- Any particular feature which you would love to see in such a service?
- Any other feedback which will keep it clean and safe?
