StandbyBro – friends for rent (platonic companionship)

Japan has a whole “rental family / rental friend” industry and I’ve always wondered if there’s a version of that in US without being creepy or trip into the tinder realm. Kind of silly idea but I wanted to show HN after launching in Seattle to a couple surprising requests. Happy to answer questions about the approach, tech, and how I’m thinking about safety and ops. Brutal feedback welcome.
