We speak to the creators of the new privacy-focused & community-driven app, 'Pillars'. Created by Abdul-Rahman Abbas, medical student at UCL, and Tariq Jamal, computer science student at UCL. Join our host Tahseen Hamid as he delves into their motivations behind creating the app and how an existing privacy scandal led to a huge uptake.

We also talk about building in the open, establishing trust, and engaging closely community of users frustrated by an existing problem. We also have a discussion on a selection of community problems that currently exist and are just waiting to be similarly tackled by a sincere group of people.
