The first project aims to build a chatroom-esque app that curates together feeds and allows the users to create exclusive rooms. The rooms will be fully customizable, allowing users to add their own features and swap out with their own templates. It may be wrong to call these “Chats”, because they’re more like curated feeds. We’re building a tool for users to create, manage, and view theirs and other’s curations.
