Reconnect with your community. Reconnect with your world.

Hey there. I'm Jon, the main creator behind this awesome application for reconnecting with your community.

OllieConnect makes it easy to meet people who share your interests and objectives, both in your community and beyond. The original version of Ollie demonstrated its potential as a live MVP, but I'm now rewritting the application for a full-scale launch.

And I'm doing this because Ollie's purpose, helping people connect with others, is more critical now than ever.

Let me get this off my chest.

Our world keeps shrinking away, farther out of reach, into short-form videos, memes, sound bites, and other minor digital artifacts. Culture, once emanating from localized shared experiences, is now passed down to us through online trends.

We consume, over and over, swipe by swipe, until we have a complete yet inorganic idea of the life we ought to live, at least until the next miniature zeitgeist takes its place.

In other words, it's sad that we no longer gather in third places, connect in person, or have conversations uninterrupted by our devices -- that we no longer build culture and experiences from the bottom up rather than the top down.

It's even more unfortunate that the most influential tech companies believe, or at least would like us to believe, that AI will make all of this sadness go away by generating content, ideas, and answers that we did not have the pleasure of crafting or discovering on our own.

I'm unsure if all of that came together as I had planned. So let me make it simple: I built Ollie because it's time to get back to the world.
