Istorya

"Istorya" is a Masbateno word that means to talk or share a conversation. I picked that name because that is really what I wanted this project to be. Just a simple place where students can talk to someone new without making it feel like a big thing.

The idea was inspired by random chat sites like Omegle, but I wanted this one to feel more student-centered. Instead of just being random for the sake of being random, Istorya is built around conversations between students, especially people from different colleges and departments.

I made this for students who are curious, shy, bored, stressed, or just in the mood for a random convo. Sometimes it is easier to talk when there is less pressure, and that is the kind of space I wanted Istorya to give.

It is still a small project, but I am really happy people are trying it. Big thanks to Camille too for designing the logo and helping give the site its own look.
