Been a while since my last post

Hey Melbourne Music, I wanted to share the latest version of the Hilltops platform which helps connect people through in person events and activities. And supporting the Melbourne music scene in the process.

Hilltops aims to help people who might need to go solo, not have to feel like they are going alone. Helping those who want to, get out to more shows!

Last time I posted, we were not live on Android, I am happy to say Android is LIVE and there has been MASSIVE app improvements and updates to make sure not only the app is smooth and easy to use but to help you guys stay safe.

My name is Aaron, happy to answer any questions as this community has been very supportive!

To the person who commented last time and said that, this would be great at finding people to jam with. I really like this use case as this is exactly what Hilltops should be for. It should help you connect with the people nearby who are genuinely interested in what you already love to do!

Anyway for those who want to learn a bit more, you can check out: https://hilltops.app/

If you’re starting Uni in Australia, have you heard Hilltops?

I am a solo founder based in Melbourne, Australia, and I have been in the exact position of struggling to meet people and find new connections. I know that snappy opening messages and profiles are not the best way to really get to know someone. Especially if you're new to the city.

I have spent 7 months building Hilltops, a platform that helps you connect by making it about the activity and not the person. With the mission of encouraging in-person experience as a way to connect, I think people connect better when they are not performing, and instead start focusing on doing the things that they actually like to do.

The app is simple: you can create plans on the map, discover events, and join event chats to join the conversation with other attendees. There is a low-friction way to seed plans, and others nearby can express interest. There are real communities signing up to the app where you can stay in the loop with their events, or even join their community channels.

When you create a room, people nearby and based on matching interests get notified that a new activity has opened up, and they can join.

Safety is also baked into it - so feel free to ask any questions.

This is free, so for the record, I am not selling anything! I'm sharing my solution to a problem I have personally struggled with.

I would like to know what you guys think. Reach out, I feel like this is a community worth sharing this in.

Moving to a new city is tough when you don’t know anyone

I am a solo founder based in Melbourne, Australia, and I have been in the exact position of struggling to meet people and find new connections. I know that snappy opening messages and profiles are not the best way to really get to know someone.

With the mission of encouraging in-person experience as a way to connect, I think people connect better when they are not performing, and instead start focusing on doing the things that they actually like to do.

The app is very simple; you can join or create rooms for activities such as hiking, going to the food market, checking out an event, and then jump into a group chat to get to know them and coordinate the meetup.

There are music events, sporting events, comedy, and trivia, all built with community and connection in mind, meaning you find others who are keen to go if you’re in a position where you don’t want to have to go solo.

What’s one place that changed your perspective?

For me, some places don’t just feel new, they change how I think. A city, a hike, a random conversation, a rooftop at sunset. What’s one place or moment that gave you a new perspective on life, travel, or people?
