About Stranger_X

Hi, I’m a solo indie dev who loves building social and fun experiments for the web. Currently working on StrangerMeet — a place to chat with random strangers, anonymously and safely. I believe the internet needs more weird, friendly corners again

    Some of the best parts of the old internet weren’t polished feeds or follower counts—they were the random, unplanned conversations that made you feel connected for a moment. That f…

    Some of the most memorable conversations in life happen by accident—on a train, in a café, or with a stranger online. But most of the internet has moved away from that. Everything …
