Show HN: Eintercon – A 48-hour social window to meet people worldwide
Eintercon is a social app where you get paired with people globally, but each connection lasts only 48 hours. The idea is to give just enough time to have a meaningful exchange before you hop off to meet someone new. It’s not about collecting followers — it’s about sparking real conversations, learning about other cultures, and keeping things fresh.
A couple of things that make it different:
Global-first design: built to make cross-border connections effortless.
48-hour connection window: keeps the experience engaging, without endless ghost chats.
Mailing & Labs: you can also drop into themed chatrooms ("Labs") filled with people from diverse cultures, or send cross-border messages to test how connections spark.
Passport feature: answer light “visa-style” questions to connect intentionally with people from specific regions.
We’re live on iOS (testflight) and web. I’d love feedback on:
Does the 48-hour limit feel like a good balance between fleeting and meaningful?
Are there other cultural-exchange features you’d expect or want in something like this?
Does the name “Eintercon” work for you, or is it too clunky? (I’ve been getting mixed reactions).
'Eintercon' has no meaning to be as an English speaker, except that the first part (ein) sounds vaguely Germanic. It does not seem a very memorable name or one I'd associate with a social network.
