Facechat

A (dead) HackMIT 2020 project.

Objective

Goal: messaging app with different chatrooms on different levels of privacy so that people can share ideas, and meet new people with similar views (kind of like different virtual lounges for them to hang out with since real cafes/places people would normally go to meet others with similar opinions are dead). They would have 4 levels of privacy as follows: 100% anonymous, public chatrooms anyone using the app can enter which would have no name, no avatar, semi-private chatrooms where people could see the real life name and avatar, timezone, and very private rooms where people would share everything: social media accounts, even location, etc. Ideally people would meet on the top level of anonymity and then form more private chatrooms once they got to know people better, making this the digital version of places that people used to go to socialize and make friend groups. To sign onto the app people would have a "contract" where they have to link two social accounts.
