Building for Salzburg: Safety, Scale, and the Human Element

As we move into mid-April 📅, our focus has shifted toward refining the 'Social Signal.' We've implemented a new local content filter to ensure that the community remains focused on platonic, safe, and respectful connections. Being based in Salzburg, a city where you can walk 🚶 across the entire historic center in just 20 minutes, reminds us that technology should serve the human scale.

On a personal note, the 'Double Stop' spirit is alive in my own life. I recently made a great friend who plays the guitar 🎸 just like I do; now, I occasionally visit his place so we can play a song together. It's a reminder that these small, real-world sparks are exactly why we built this.

We aren't building a global 'social network' yet — we are building a digital lighthouse 🚨 for real-world interactions. Every line of code is a deliberate choice to prioritize your presence in the physical world over your presence on a screen.
