Read full description

A social networking app that lets people organize in-person events to meet others before deciding who to form friendships with. The app manages gender ratios for the events to ensure that there's a good diversity of genders in each event. After attending each event, you get to decide who you want to form friendships with. Once connected, you have up to seven days to communicate with the other person in the app. After attending each event, everyone submits feedback about others from the event. After you've attended enough events, a summary of this feedback is made available to you to help you with your self improvements. See https://www.hautpas.com to learn more.
