I'm building Chatlr - an end-to-end chat app to connect simply with anybody

Hey indie hacker,

I wanna share with you what I'm building at the moment.

Chatlr is a chat app that works like Calendly, you share your personalized link and people can start chatting with you, share files, send voice chats, and schedule meetings (w Calendly).

All your messages, files, and messages are encrypted to ensure your privacy.

You can also collect information (email and name for the moment)

I'm planning to implement video calls, contact export, and payments later on.

I'll be pleased to get feedback if you wanna try it.

Have nice week

    Video calls seem like they may be a useful feature, especially with the proliferation of remote work and online conferences in recent years.

    Why should someone use Chatlr instead of traditional channels?

    Amazing website by the way πŸ’ͺ

      Thanks πŸ™,

      Chatlr is better for some use cases because :

      Phone: some people don't want to share their phone numbers + it's limited.

      Email: Not optimal for long conversations.

      Socials/Platform: if folks don't have an account you need to force them to sign in.

      Chatlr uses just a simple link so it's universal and simple for the recipient.

    Hey Hugo,

    Who's your target audience?

    What problem are you solving for them?

    1. 1

      Hi

      I'm targeting people who are using 1:1 chats such as online coaches, recruiters, and freelances

      Many people use emails for these which is not an optimal solution

    This is a very cool idea.

    Seems like the biggest challenge would be getting the chat scheduled/started. Your hero section starts off showing a chat window, which at least for me, felt like it jumped over that critical step. Just some feedback in terms of potential visitor expectations when they hit your site. I think showing the personal interactions that get the chat started would round out the demonstration of the experience.

    Good luck, this is great stuff!

      You are right, I will improve this. Thanks for the feedback πŸ™

    Nice, I would love to see some use cases. Tried to check the website it keeps timing out.

    What exactly is the usecase that is not covered by all the other chat apps out there? Most have end-to-end-encryption nowadays. And some also don’t rely on your phone number. Is it for coaches who want to chat with their clients?

    It's great but will grow stronger in user information security geometry dash lite

    Hi Hugo!

    Chatlr sounds like an interesting project, and I appreciate the privacy aspect of end-to-end encryption. It's great to see the ability to share files, send voice chats and schedule meetings all within one platform.

    I can imagine video calls being a valuable addition, especially with the rise of remote work and virtual meetings.

    Keep up the good work, and best of luck with the development process!

      Looks like a ChatGPT answer but thanks!

        The difference between ChatGPT and I is that it did not register to your app x)

        Btw for the "Login with Google", you can respect Caps.
