Vicinity Android

Vicinity

The group chat for IRL — a spatial communication network for your local world.

Features & Capabilities

Vicinity: Proximity Chat is a dynamic Chrome extension designed to foster real-time communication among nearby smartphone users. By creating a live chatroom based on your chosen location radius, it enables communities—whether city neighborhoods, campuses, or events—to connect instantly and meaningfully. Vicinity emphasizes privacy, as member locations remain undisclosed, and offers both public chatrooms and private messaging for deeper interactions.

This tool aims to counteract social isolation by encouraging genuine local connections. Users can organize meetups, share recommendations, coordinate activities, or simply find new friends nearby. Supporting both light and dark modes, Vicinity provides an accessible interface designed to enhance real-life socialization rather than isolate users behind screens.

When I try to sign up with Google, it does nothing, with Twitter, it tells me that JavaScript is disabled for this browser (I'm still inside the app), and when I type everything, it just shows a never stopping loading indicator. Please help.
