The Story Behind “ChaL”
The idea for ChaL has been in my mind since 2020. After failing over 20 times to build this exact app—starting from solving just one question to finally completing it—I’m proud to see it come together. It was originally called Chat on Location, but that felt too long. During a night walk, the word ChaL came to me—common Indian slang for “let’s go” and a perfect fit as an acronym for Chat at Location. It just clicked: short, catchy, and aligned with our mission to connect people through location-based chat and solve real-world problems.
I’ve got the background running system working, but it’s currently not compatible with OneSignal. I’m actively working to fix that.
