I thought this was a cool idea, and so I just signed up, but I was so alarmed by the process that I made an HN account to address this here.<p>Please correct me if I&#x27;m wrong, but you drop people into randomly assigned groups of people who live within a certain distance <i>without giving the user a chance to screen that group</i> for people they already may know and need to avoid?<p>This is such an obvious potential problem that it didn&#x27;t occur to me that your service wouldn&#x27;t account for it. In my case it&#x27;s at least not a dangerous situation, although I&#x27;m betting the other person in my new group is really not going to be pleased to get this particular notification email. But I imagine overlap will be a problem, particularly when your userbase is still small.<p>I have to ask--are there any women working at your company? Anyone over 25?<p>This may seem like a nuisance question to you, but for many women I know (and for myself), the inability to screen potential groups is an immediate dealbreaker. It&#x27;s a safety issue at it&#x27;s most extreme, but it&#x27;s also just common sense. For many women this is an absolute dealbreaker in a way men might not understand.
