I made Voidful, a kind-of-anti-social network where users can yell into the void to see how many other people are yelling the same thing. If you yell something similar, this is considered an "echo" and you gain access to a chat room about that topic with other users being notified.
Currently when users yell into the same void they are brought into a chat together, but this is somewhat of an MVP. In the future that chat may have guard rails related to the topic, rewards left by other users, and possibly more!
A key concept is that users can never enumerate or list the voids, as otherwise it will likely turn into a vanity war like traditional social media, which in my opinion is at the all-time-high for gamification. I am trying to remove the incentive to say random stuff to make line go up.
I am interested in how people use this kind of technology. I believe in the future when more consumer devices are capable of inference this will be adapted to be more client side and anonymous, with the vector database using homomorphic encryption via [HEVEC].
This was similar to my last experiment, [Ethos], also with very low inference cost using `qwen3-8b` for the LLM and `qwen3-embedding-8b` for the embedding.
Any feedback about subjects you give it and incorrect analysis is appreciated. I am curious what happens if a lot of people go into a chat at once, and it makes sense to try "Hacker News" as a chat topic.
