Hey dev.to! I'm Behan, a solo full-stack developer.

I built a random chat platform before this one. It failed, mostly because of media hosting costs and no real rate limiting, the classic "it looked good but wasn't built to last" problem.

So with GrowsChat, I made a few decisions early and stuck to them:

AI is always disclosed. If you're ever talking to our AI while we find you a real match, you'll know. No exceptions.

No account needed to start a real conversation.
