Built this after a stretch of feeling oddly isolated despite being surrounded by people — the usual thing where everyone's busy, plans keep falling through, and it's easier to stay in than make the effort to meet someone new.
Pause matches you with one person a week — coffee, a skill swap, or a quiet cowork session — based on shared interests. No swiping, no group chats that go nowhere. You show up, we handle who and where.
It's live in London now, first paid cycle just went out. Feedback very welcome, especially on the matching logic — that's the part I'm least sure I've gotten right yet. Happy to answer anything about how it works or what's next.

Interesting, will try it!

Appreciate it, let me know how it goes!

interesting idea, you should update the copy to have non-AI like writing though. It reads very AI generated atm.

Appreciate the honesty, I'll rewrite the landing copy today, it's clearly not landing right. Thanks for flagging

AI generated page, no links to who created it, what they do, and somehow making it to HN front page.

Yeah Im pretty sure gambling the HN frontpage is just a small transaction away. How else would this, sorry for my english, half finished, vibe coded bull get so far

Good catch, that's a Google Cloud console config I hadn't finished, fixing now. Thanks for testing all the way through signup

If there are 10 people on a social network, are you allowed to call it "curated"?

Great idea! Would definitely sign up if I was living in London. Whats the verification process for sign ups btw?
