Been working on a side project called Chances — it helps you quickly see interesting things happening nearby.

I originally built it because I kept running into the same problem:

  • traveling to a new city and not knowing what’s going on
  • realizing on Friday night I made zero weekend plans
  • wanting to do something spontaneous without digging through 5 different apps

We just added a live map view that shows events around you, which makes the whole “find something nearby right now” experience a lot more fun.

The app is free to use. I’d genuinely love feedback on:

  • the concept
  • features that would make it more social/fun
  • whether this solves a real problem for you

Happy to answer questions about the build, design decisions, etc.

Like what caused you to realize that you were in love? Was it a specific moment or something that was said?

I've been in love once before, about 10 years ago, and I think I realized it in the quiet hours of the morning. That period of time when you're in between sleep and being fully awake, when the sun hasn't yet risen and you find comfort and safety under the covers, when the only thing you focus on is the feeling, touch, and peaceful presence of the person next to you.

Curious what people have been arrested for and what that experience was like. Also how did that impact your ability to keep or get another job?

30F - My best friends and I have known each other since kindergarten and have remained equally close throughout the years. They're more like my family members at this point. I feel our relationship is rare to have remained so strong, and I know that we'll have this close bond for the rest of our lives.

Is this super unique? I don't know many other people that have best friends since they were 5 years old.

Do most people sublease a place when they first move to NYC? My idea is to start out with that because A) the full lease requirements are insane and B) I'm not sure which neighborhood I want to commit to long-term. Anyone else experienced this? Any advice for a new 29M?
