Hey everyone,

I used Omegle for some lighthearted banter but it has been shutdown abruptly so there are people scrambling to find a good alternative.

I have decided to create a new text only spin off of Omegle as that’s the mode I used the most and am familiar with.

Following is what I have built till now:

  1. Connect to a random stranger.
  2. Use common likes to enhance partner search.

You can try to initial build on the test server here: https://chatlit.codexn--4v8h.online/

Due to the nature of anonymous chat, the predators are going to come sooner than later. Hence, I have built a MANDATORY LOGIN SYSTEM so as to verify that a real person is using the site. Your personal info (email) will never be used to send you emails or for identification.

What features I have in mind:

  1. Anonymously add friends. The option becomes available after 10 messages from each partner.
  2. An option to have video chats. The option becomes available after 10 messages from each partner.

I am meaning to build this service for the folks who are seriously looking for someone to talk to for whatever reason. I just want that all of us are able to find someone who is genuine.

So, here is the feedback I am seeking from the community:

  1. What key feature do you want in this service?
  2. Any particular feature which you would love to see in such a service?
  3. Any other feedback which will keep it clean and safe?
