Considering how long I have been sitting here to have a chat with someone makes me realize this is one of those "everyone would like to use but nobody has the time to use" kinda project.
The nichification of social networks suffer from this problem of loving it vs having the time/effort to use it. Maybe a button on HN here would make it more approachable to people but not as a standalone site. Funneling people outside of their common interest space is super hard and unsustainable without appealing a to a boarder group and forming a unique community within itself. But in that process you just lost your original vision.
For this app, I would suggest incorporating features from Omegle. Having a chat section and having a status section would be nice.
Not being dismissive at all but this is just a rant :/
