Show HN: Pause – weekly curated 1:1 coffee matches for London professionals

Hey HN

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!

Cool idea, Just a heads up, your google single sign on isn't very descriptive
