Post Description

Just saw this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47920074

It reminded me of an app we made awhile back with the sole purpose of finding 'Boredom'.

The app never took off, but thought it would be fun to share here since.

TLDR on the app is that you join real time 'boring' livestream rooms with random people.
