Hey everyone,

I’ve spent years testing random video chat apps like Omegle, OmeTV, and MonkeyApp. At first, it was just curiosity could these apps connect people meaningfully? Almost immediately, I noticed a consistent problem: lack of safety and moderation. Kids and teens were often exposed to inappropriate content, and chaotic behavior went unchecked.

That inspired me to create VibePop, a platform designed with safety, privacy, and better social interaction in mind. Some features include:

Behind The Scenes: https://medium.com/@techwhipped/from-disappointed-user-to-developer-the-story-behind-vibepop-live-3d53cd9006d0

🧠 Real-time AI moderation: Inappropriate content is blurred instantly.

👥 Group video rooms: Up to 10 people, with moderation tools and emoji chat.

🔞 Age detection: Protects minors from adult content automatically.

🎶 Playlist mode: Curated videos play while waiting for a match.

🚩 Persistent reporting: Reports are logged and reviewed to prevent repeat abuse.

🌐 Cross-platform: Works on mobile, desktop, and VR without downloads.

🔐 Privacy-first: Optional accounts, no data selling, fully GDPR-compliant.

I built this not just as a developer, but as a user who’s experienced the frustration of endless “next” clicks and chaotic encounters. My goal was to make random video chat safer, more engaging, and community-driven.

I’d love to hear your thoughts: Would you use a platform like this, and what features would make it appealing today?

It was originally going to be done in PHP, but I decided against it and went with the vibe-coded method instead, since I’m a solo developer working on the site alone. Before putting it live, I fully tested it, verified there were no security issues, and confirmed that all functions worked properly without any problems. I continue to push out small updates to fix any issues, even if it’s just a minor spelling mistake.
