I don't know for sure, but I feel like this app probably was born out of Indie Hackers and for whatever reason Indie Hackers puts a huge emphasis on age (it's the first thing listed in everyone's bio, before location or what they do).
I think their goal is to be inclusive (anyone, of any age or gender or race, can be a maker!), but I can see how it feels odd out of context.
Honestly, I was just super tired and filling out my bio was one of the last things I did. I think a lot of people mention age because it's something to say when they can't think of anything else. Didn't mean to come off as ageist.
I know, thanks for your response. I'm 42 so paranoid my tech skills are becoming irrelevant. What a pathetic thing to worry about during a pandemic. Anyway, I think you're really onto something because as a musician I always want to video chat but have everyone be responsible for tuning into a 3rd party, like for group jamming for instance. Keep up the good work!
Ah, didn't know that. I feel like Covid has me, personally, thinking a lot about how age never mattered more, so that's why it stood out, or seemed off to have 'missed' or whatever. (Futurist world of micro-cities of only young people, old people in rural areas in sterilized cubes and what not)
