		elliottburris on Sept 12, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: What are you building? I'm a data scientist who is building Slipper, an iOS app that uses algorithms to reconnect and recommend missed connections. In beta now, but ~5% of new users are matched on sign-up with a real post written about them. Launching later this month, perhaps early October. Feedback most definitely welcome! https://slipperapp.com (also sneakily available in the App Store if you feel like checking it out: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slipper-find-your-missed-con...)

I am finding it a bit difficult to properly understand what this app does.

So it uncovers lost connections between the user and other people, where do the stories come into this?
