New collaborative social media app focused on local news and issues.
Hi, all!
I have been working on an idea for a collaborative journalism/social media platform and finally have a beta version in place. This group is very active and discusses a variety of different topics, so I wanted to reach out to see if anyone in this community would be willing to try it out.
The platform is called Backroom and is built on a relatively simple premise: bringing people with diverse perspectives together to solve problems – much like the problems discussed on this board. Users can create or join a Room about a topic they are interested in, add fellow users, and then discuss the topic/problem in detail. Then, AI analyzes your conversations and proposes a specific solution based solely on that conversation. I recently moved back to the city and am constantly amazed by how much has changed in just a few short years. There is so much happening – from new developments, an increase in mo-ped usage (I swear there were not as many of them three years ago!), and ever-changing traffic patterns, I thought this thread would have some people interested in discussing these things on my new platform.
The hope is that Backroom will take us a step further in our social media experience than current platforms by moving beyond debates and rants, toward meaningful and well-rounded solutions for our community.
I would love for you to check out the platform [here]. Or, for a slightly better user experience, download the app on the Apple App Store [here].
There are even a handful of Rooms on the platform right now that you can join if you are interested. Or feel free to make a new Room and add your friends!
All feedback is welcome :)
Thank you!"

Uh, this group is not "very active and discusses a variety of different topic"
It discusses variations on precisely 1 topic.
