+# social network and connections
+
+ideas about connecting people, mapping relationships, and building communities. ranges from practical community building ([[connection-hub|Nueva Connection Hub]], [[fpv-teens|FPV Teens]], [[nueva-hacks|Nueva Hacks]]) through relationship infrastructure ([[discord-connections-mapper|connection mapping]] across platforms, [[referral-hiring|referral-based hiring]]) to algorithmic matching ([[vibe-matcher|vibe matcher]]).
+
+the deepest technical insight is the multi-platform relationship graph — scanning iMessage, Discord, LinkedIn, WhatsApp to build a unified people graph where networks can be combined and centroids identified. the [[info-exchanger|info exchanger]] addresses the cold-start problem of new connections.
+
+the community-building ideas (Connection Hub, FPV Teens) have been partially executed. the technical infrastructure ideas (connection mapper, vibe matcher) remain unexplored but have strong potential, especially for the hiring use case.
