I don't get it. Isn't the orange pill app so you can meet people online to meet in person. Isn't that a meetup?
meetups require an organizer and a venue.
with OPA you can meet other bitcoiners as you see fit.
take a look here to get an idea: https://www.orangepillapp.com/reviews

I looked at some reviews. I sill don't get what you offer.

best way to find out, is to signup and try for yourself

You would probably get more members if people could check it out for a bit before paying.
reply
nah, we would get flooded with spammers & scammers.

I am pretty sure there are other ways to weed a lot of that out.

sure, we could monitor every single message, run censorship algos, and sell users data to pay the bills.
but I'm not interested in building a facebook for bitcoiners.

Good luck. I think something more open and free is going to prevail long term for connecting. And perhaps, soon, most everyone will be a bitcoiner, so we won't need an app just for bitcoiners. but I have no idea. I realize I am ignorant on this stuff. I just like asking questions and sharing my view.
I was going to. Installed it and everything. I was excited. And then it said I had to pay before I could even see what it is about.

the paywall is what makes OPA a special place, with no spammers, scammers, shipcoiners, ads etc etc

Makes sense. I probably won't use it ever but I get it.

An organizer and a venue? How about i meet someone on nostr and I invite a new friend to my house. Im so confused.
reply
finding local bitcoiners on nostr is possible but very difficult.
we make that super-easy.
reply
Regardless of how I meet someone online, if we intend to meet in physical reality, we need a space to sit and a way to communicate to organize. This can't be done on nostr?
