Cheddar solves issues that I currently have with using WhatsApp and Instagram.

1. Its built on top of Matrix.org so it doesn't zucc
2. Its built around conversations, not groups. Lowering the threshold to start a conversation, ask a question and plan with a combination of people that can be short lived. Because otherwise I feel like bothering a lot of people in large groups that aren't part of the discussion, or creating new groups for things like birthday gifts feel cumbersome (While still allowing for traditional group chats without any additional friction)
3. Having a Feed, where users can share experiences, thoughts or one time events. Also only to selected users each time, with a Snapchat like UI/UX.

Its supposed to be a low barrier of entry for the Matrix ecosystem, and also give an escape for Snapchat, Instagram (the social aspect, not the Reels) and WhatsApp with a new approach on how to start new conversation and share experiences.

What do you think about this approach? And would you be open to help me test and develop this?
