Show HN: Bridgit – In-Person-First Networking

I recently launched Bridgit Social, an iOS app that helps people discover and connect with others who are physically nearby — either in the same place or within walking distance, to meet in-person, HERE and NOW!

The goal is to make meeting new people feel simple, immediate, and grounded in real-world presence — not through long online exchanges.

This project started from a personal need to expand both my personal and professional networks. I had used various social networking apps and grew frustrated that most of them led to long online conversations, but rarely resulted in real-life interactions — where the actual human connection actually begins!

I wanted something built specifically to support in-person connections, while respecting privacy and giving users full control. You can think of it as a way to bring some of the value of LinkedIn into real-world, in-the-moment interactions.
