Hello HN! I'm Wen Bo from alto.lol (https://alto.lol). I'm building a safe virtual space for students who attend the same university to meet and connect via video chat. It's like Zoom breakout rooms but any user is free to create/join/leave rooms and invite others to a room.I moved to San Francisco, away from my family and friends, a few months before the start of Covid. I was still working for my job back in NYC and was the only one on my team who was fully remote. The isolation from my co-workers was challenging but video chatting with them on a regular basis helped with the transition.After I was laid off, I began experimenting with real-time communication apps to alleviate the isolation

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
