I wish something like YikYak still existed.

Several times over the last few months, I've wanted to chat with people in the same physical area / event as me.

The barriers for getting everyone on to the same Slack / Discord / Matrix / Social Media channel is just too high.

I'd love to go "I'm in physical space X, for event Y, how do I ask people nearby about Z?"

(Anyone replying with XKCD 927 will be fired out of a cannon.)

I dunno what yikyak is but the way I'd like it to work is, instead of actually chatting directly with people, I just want to set certain states e.g. pissed off, feeling horny, I'm a bit geeky, I love animals, hoping for serendipity, love the rain, hate the rain, you look familiar, vegetarian, my first time here etc

better to keep an air of curiosity / discovery, encourage some anonymity where people really tell you what they are thinking
