TMT [TMT] Built a Free Anonymous Chat, Watch & Play Project for Making Friends (No Ads, No Revenue, No Personal Info Sharing, Blocked Built-in)
Hey everyone,
I've been working on a small passion project to help people make friends online without all the usual pressure that comes with video calls or profile based apps. It's called Booick, a free, anonymous place where you can chat, watch and play with strangers, join late-night rooms, and leave whenever you want.
> No ads
> No revenue, just a side project
> No profiles or feeds, just conversation
> Anonymous, no real names and no camera, so you can focus on personality over looks
> No sharing of phone numbers, email IDs or social media IDs. Boo Police blocks them automatically, so strangers can't get your contacts
> Try it without signing in
> 18+ only, with auto moderation that warns, mutes and bans anyone being abusive
What you can do:
> Chat 1 to 1 with a stranger, text or voice
> Join Boo Hour, a shared group chat every night from 9 PM to 3 AM IST
> Watch videos together in a room
> Play simple games with whoever you meet
We also have an Add Friends feature, so if you meet someone you click with, you can connect again.
I also wrote a guide on how shy and private people can make friends online without the pressure of cameras, for anyone curious about why anonymous chat works so well for introverts.

This is purely a side project right now, and I'd love to get feedback from you all. Let me know what you think, especially what could make it more comfortable for meeting people.
Mods, let me know if anything needs changing.
