RiPi (pronounced: RIP-ee) is a new kind of social network; one that actually helps your social life.
I’m building RiPi to make it easier for people to find others nearby who share their interests and want to connect offline - whether that’s chatting over coffee, going for a walk, finding a creative collab partner, sharing parenting stories, or just meeting someone who gets what you’re into.
We’re starting local, initially in my home town of Doncaster to make sure everything works right but then expanding beyond.
The idea is simple: To connect a community of like-minded people who meet - not to pitch or sell - but to talk, share, learn, and feel a bit more connected.
Sometimes it might be a relaxed group catch-up.
Other times, it might just be two people meeting at a verified, welcoming RiPi venue because they both love photography… or gaming… or fitness... or great coffee...
No complex algorithms. No awkward networking. No pressure.
Just real people, meeting in real life.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, just answer a few quick questions below and I’ll keep you in the loop.
Let’s bring connection back.
