This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
We built Gatherly because meeting people online usually means profiles, bios, and performing a version of yourself. We wanted something simpler: say what you're doing right now, get dropped into a room with strangers doing something similar. No profiles, no video.
It is interesting product, at leat it sounds cool, quite curious to try? I love Capybaras;) Did you pick Capybara as a logo because it is the most friendly animal?
How does the matching actually work when I just drop in casually? Like, is there a room size limit or do I just get tossed in with anyone online at the same time?
How does it actually match people into rooms, is it based on keywords or something more structured, and what happens when a room is empty?
Felt surprisingly calming to just say what I'm up to and have strangers quietly join. The lack of video and profiles makes it way less awkward than I expected.
Felt oddly calming to just drop in and work alongside strangers without the pressure of a face cam. Nice that nobody's curating a profile either, just the task at hand.
How does the matching actually work when you say what you're doing, is it keyword based or does it pick up on more nuanced stuff like pacing or mood?
How does matching actually work in real time if there's no profile or pre-set interests, and what happens when two people end up in the same room doing totally different things?
