   Nice! But is there an app with this algorithm/strategy/design for finding good matches for casually having fun together? All the apps I know suck.

      meetup and other related apps have always been best for finding people with related interests.

      If they don't have your interests, feel free to start a new group?

         Meetup got enshittified years ago already, and the changes drove away the small communities that once made up so much of the site; the only groups which prosper on it now are mainly large for-profit ventures.

         In places where there is a healthy ecosystem of casual, non-rapacious meetups, that is overwhelmingly organized via Facebook, not Meetup.
