I got tired of seeing people more connected than ever, yet feeling more alone than ever.

Over the last year, I kept noticing the same pattern among students:

Most platforms optimize for attention.

Dating apps often optimize for matches.

But neither seems optimized for helping people find others with similar intentions.

Some people want friendship.
Some want relationships.
Some want networking.
Some simply want genuine conversations.

Yet everyone gets thrown into the same system.

So I started building Ishkzen.

The idea is simple:

What if people could connect based on intentions, compatibility, and meaningful conversations instead of endless swiping?

I've just launched the first version and I'm looking for honest feedback from founders, builders, and early adopters.

What do you think is the biggest thing missing from how people connect online today?
