### [Project Title]
BlindChat
### Pitch
This is an app that will match people at random (I will also make a version that matches based off gender, orientation, and interests, to test its viability
as an actual dating app) and place them into a blind chatroom with each other, at which point they will have to talk to each other for a certain amount of
time to reveal each other's photos.
### Problem
Modern dating apps naturally rely on superficial qualities to match people, such as appearance and background. On the other side of the spectrum, most
modern chat sites are often used for unsavory purposes.
### Solution
This app aims to help facilitate interaction between people who would normally have no excuse to make conversation. The aim will to be to make it anonymous
enough to be fun, but identifiable enough to avoid abuse. It will create a low risk environment for users to utilize for whatever purpose they choose.
### Target Audience
This app is for anyone who has a couple hours to kill and an open mind. The app will be built with numerous safety features to keep the content and community
tasteful.
### Integrations
* Which APIs will you use?
- Giphy
- SendBird for messaging
- YouTube
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Instagram
* Which OAuth integration are you planning to use?
It will be worthwhile to somewhat hand-roll the authentication to preserve the "anonymous" aspect of the app, but authentication
through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
