Jobbeschreibung

Our mission is to create a new platform that:

• facilitates joint activities in real life from sports and meals to concerts.
• consciously reduces and limits on-screen time while keeping users informed about essential information.
• actively suppresses the spread of fake news and polarizing content.

Why? Today's social networks are often linked to negative effects on mental health, addiction, and increasing loneliness. They are designed to maximize screen time through endless scrolling rather than promoting genuine interaction.

Status: A concept has been developed and a prototype with Chat, Calendar and an initial version of Activities has been programmed in a manner that can easily be scaled to 100M+ users.

I have studied computer science and will provide us with a strong technical base. For me this is not only a project - it's a mission I have fully committed myself to. Challenges really get me motivated, just like in sports. Most importantly, the daily pursuit of this vision is incredibly fun and brings me immense joy.

Lets reshape social media together, because life’s best moments happen offline!
