"I moved to a new city and have no one to go for coffee with": Ukrainian developer launches service for finding friends without swiping
Ukrainian developer Mykhailo Savchuk launched the ramle.app service — a platform for finding friends and companies for joint activities without classic dating mechanics.
The product idea grew out of a fairly mundane situation: moving to a new city and a complete lack of social circles.
Ukrainian developer Mykhailo Savchuk launched the ramle.app service — a platform for finding friends and companies for joint activities without classic dating mechanics.
The product idea grew out of a fairly mundane situation: moving to a new city and a complete lack of social circles.
«Finding friends as an adult is harder than it seems»
According to the team, the impetus for creating the service came from the founder’s personal experience. After moving, he spent weeks trying to find people to just have coffee with or go for a walk with.
Events and networking evenings did not yield results — the feeling of «own circle» never appeared.
As a result, the team formulated the problem simply: platforms for events exist, but there is actually no place where you can find «your» people close to you by interests for regular communication.
How Ramle works
At ramle.app, we focused on the simplest possible scenario.
The user selects several activities — for example, coffee, hiking, sports, or programming. The service then matches people in the same city with similar interests.
The focus is not on profiles or appearance, but on a shared activity: «what to do together,» not «who to choose.»
The next step is communication and checking if there is «chemistry.» And then offline meetings in public places: coffee shops, parks, or at events. Some partner establishments even offer discounts for users.
«Just friendship»
The team specifically emphasizes the positioning of the product: this is not dating or networking.
Ramle is a service exclusively for finding friends.
No swipes, likes, or followers. No romantic overtones. And no professional networking.
The idea is to create a simple tool that helps adults find company for ordinary things: going for coffee, taking a walk, attending an event, or going on a trip.
