Show HN: Eintercon – A platform to make real global connections in 48 hours

https://www.eintercon.com/
4•abilafredkb•4mo ago
I’ve been working on something I personally felt was missing from the internet: a way to build genuine global connections without endless swiping, ghosting, or chasing algorithms. That’s how Eintercon was born.

Eintercon is a social platform built around the idea of time-bound connections. When you connect with someone, you have 48 hours to engage—whether it’s a chat, sharing experiences, or finding common ground. After that, the connection expires unless you both decide to continue.

Why? Because I’ve seen too often how social platforms turn into infinite scrolls, dead inboxes, or connections that don’t go anywhere. By adding urgency and focus, Eintercon encourages people to actually interact instead of collecting names on a list.

A few things about it:

The focus is global friendships, not just local networking.

The 48-hour connection window creates momentum and reduces ghosting.

Simplicity: no endless feeds, just people and conversations.

We’re live on Play Store and App Store . Website: https://eintercon.com .

I’d love feedback from this community:

Do you think time-limited connections help or hurt relationship building?

What are the most frustrating parts of existing “friendship” or social apps for you?

Any thoughts on how to encourage more genuine engagement rather than surface-level interactions?

This is still early, but I’d be grateful for your thoughts, ideas, and critiques. Thanks for checking it out!
