Foxsy — A matchmaker for new friends on Messenger

@bentossell @chrismessina @jnsdls Oh hayyyyy Ben. Happy we're frands.

@bentossell @chrismessina @jnsdls @imcatnoone Hi Ben!! Thanks for your comment! Yeah, some people says that!! Everything and use cases are up to users. Some people just chat about their business and exchanges their info like Chit chat. Even some of them like to meet up. So, I would understand your idea. Even for me, I really love to meet up many people in personal like you, I think!! The reason of why our team has a passion for Foxsy is we all lived in other countries!! In my case, so far, I have lived in some foreign countries like Brazil, London, Italy, and now San Francisco. As I have met a lot of great folks in other countries, I have noticed I should have shared this experience as many people as possible in my life!! Coz, when you meet up with some great, in my case, like @Chrismessina, I have felt. My life is super awesome! hehe Even thought this is a great experience and idea, everyone needs to talk to get to know each other before meeting up. Basically, by using Foxsy, we can increase the possibility of meeting with the right person based on your interest, topic, language, career, education, community, etc!! (That's we are working on now) Plus, Foxsy tries to provide the best approach to both of users. That's the reason for using Face recognition system to have a proper pic to understand who you are. Also, we implement a sentimental analysis for the Letter to figure out which negative and offensive words should not be there!! Thus, we keep two chances. When Users send a seamless message to others. They might not be able to get a reply from them. Moreover, the Letter receiver feels the aggressive and seamless messages are kinda wasting their time. We are here to increase the possibility the right person to chat based in their life to make meaningful and beautiful connections!

@imcatnoone @bentossell @chrismessina @jnsdls, I love to join the squad!! hehe Anyway, thanks for giving us the comments!! Just followed you!!

@bentossell I'm old too and this is one person's opinion but what I've seen: - friend groups are very important if your single and kind of doing the dating game... It's not something that is explicit or conscious but the amount of effort towards it changes as life becomes more stable? - friend groups and networks are super important if you're new to a town or country or job or you don't like your old friends and are reinventing yourself. In general humans need friends. - if you don't work at an awesome company, you aren't around friends all day. You wait all day to leave and go home... And you crave like minded people. But your tired from work and randomly introducing yourself is hard All in all though I'm a tired, old 26 year old who sees these apps and thinks I'm too old and tired for that.

@jinhtanaka none of that is to knock your product! It looks awesome and is a really neat flow for messenger

@imcatnoone yeh I get your points too and agree with them mostly (although I'd consider myself extroverted, like to go out a lot etc)

@imcatnoone @bentossell I'm CTO at Foxsy. Opinions from women are most important for us! We are always thinking how women can enjoy Foxsy without like offensive message and so on. For example, a first message to others (We call it "Letter" in Foxsy) are checked if it doesn't include any bad words, or negative expressions by natural language processing. Anyway, thank you for your interesting comment, Cat!

@imcatnoone @bentossell Totally agree with you!! My career and life background are based on connecting people together!! Even organizer, Recruiter / Headhunters, and the marketplace for tourist and tour guide. Everyone has a specific preference for their community. But, as we get many feedbacks from people through the interview was they prefer to talk and to have one to one conversation. Meanwhile, our social connections are getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, there is a gap between to being a group and to make a friend. Foxsy can be a middle man/ bot to connect these gaps!! Back to your experience, we implement a Sentimental analysis to analyze if the Letter/ text contents have a negative and aggressive context in order to protect the Letter receiver which could be women too!! We try to make the fill in the gap. For instance, when someone wants to meet up to her, they intend to send a nice message to her. However, there is a lack of user information. That cause a bit difficulty for the sender to approach to others. Thank you. we do our best!! Again, thank you for your comment, Cat Noone!!

@bentossell @imcatnoone if you like to meet up with people and go out, I'm down for that!! Live in San Francisco. This time, I would skip using Foxsy to have a coffee with you!! Thanks for your comment!! Arigato!!

@weirdowizard Thank you for praising Foxsy, Darshan!

@hipreetam93, interesting!! But, to compare other matching services, from download steps to become an available user with a proper profile, I would say Foxsy has fewer steps than others!! But, your suggestion could be true and easy for users!!

Hi @amit_iit, thank for your comment. Yes, we are updating Foxsy more. As you suggested me, improving webview is our next task. Excited to get a feedback directly from you!!
