0° is a new kind of anonymous conversation app. You are not seven degrees away. In a global world, someone else may be thinking the same thing right now. Type one thought. If someone else is thinking the same thing, or something close enough, 0° opens a temporary room so you can talk. Use Think mode when you want resonance. Use Debate mode when you want the counterpoint. In the iOS app, debate judging runs on-device, so the score is decided locally instead of sending the conversation to a server LLM. 0° is intentionally lightweight: - No accounts - No friends list - No follower graph - No permanent room history - Chat messages encrypted with client-side key agreement before relay transport - Random session names - Temporary rooms - Local text safety gate for obvious abuse patterns before posting - Report and dissolve controls 0° is for strangers who want to think out loud without turning every conversation into a profile, performance, or permanent record.

NexSpark Friends helps adults build real friendships, not just follow more people. Take a free quiz about your personality, interests, and what you're looking for in a friendship. We place you in a small Circle — a handful of people nearby who are genuinely compatible with you, not a random feed. HOW IT WORKS • Take the quiz — it covers your interests, availability, and what makes a friendship click for you. • Get placed in a Circle with a few compatible people in your area. • Chat, make plans, and meet up — Circles are built for actually getting together, not endless scrolling. • Traveling? Request guest access to a Circle wherever you're headed. BUILT FOR REAL COMMUNITY, SAFELY • Every member is identity-verified before joining a Circle. • Messages are actively moderated, and you can report or block anyone, anytime. • Circles are peer-governed — members can vote to remove someone who isn't a good fit, with a review process behind every decision. • You're always in control of your account, including deleting it in-app. NexSpark Friends is for adults 18+ looking for real, local friendships.
