Hey HN! I’m Andrew and I recently released Mixaba – it’s a new way to mix and mingle with people you already know online.<p>After a few remote happy hours due to shelter-in-place orders I was tired of talking over people and wanted a way to get closer to the small groups you’d experience in a real party.<p>Zoom has breakout rooms but it&#x27;s definitely more aimed toward the enterprise, and if there are security concerns it can be nice to have an alternative that doesn&#x27;t require installation or advanced permissions.<p>Mixaba is a small project that I proof-of-concepted that first weekend of our local shelter-in-place orders. In the last couple weeks I&#x27;ve been refining the product and we&#x27;ve been using it at work for happy hours and lunches, and even family Easter get togethers. It&#x27;s currently only on the web and has support across Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Phone support is experimental but it works pretty well on both iOS and Android. I&#x27;d love to see it turn into a mobile app as well for even better support.<p>It&#x27;s free and there&#x27;s no account needed to join a party, no desktop app download, and no 50 person limit – enjoy!
