I built a tiny voice app to escape the algorithm and talk to strangers again

I used to spend hours scrolling, reading comments, watching people fight online. But I realized I hadn’t had a real conversation with someone new in years.

So I built something simple: an anonymous voice chat app that pairs you 1-on-1 with someone random in the world. No text, no profile, no feed. Just a voice. Just a person.

It’s called Mindfuse. I’m not a startup founder. I’m not trying to raise money. I just missed talking like a human. It’s been live for a while now and seeing strangers connect like this has been one of the most surprising and fulfilling things I’ve ever built.

Curious if others here ever felt the same: like the internet lost something real along the way. HN: have you ever tried talking to strangers this way—or would you?
