Who's behind Pling

Hi, I'm banegasn — a software engineer who believes people deserve more freedom. The tools we reach for every day quietly shape how freely we can talk, organize, and think.

I built Pling because meeting someone online shouldn't require an account, a download, or a 40-minute cutoff. Conversation is the substrate of freedom: when it's gated and metered, our ability to connect is gated and metered too. Pling keeps the door open — open a room, share a link, and talk for as long as the conversation is worth having.

Pling is free and peer-to-peer wherever the network allows. Pling never stores your calls; optional recordings are created locally on a participant's device with a visible room notice. It's a small tool, but a deliberate one — built to keep communication in your hands instead of behind a paywall or a sign-up wall.

Why this matters

Communication tools are infrastructure for human connection. When they're locked down, fragmented, or expire mid-sentence, we lose more than convenience — we lose the freedom to show up for each other. I want a web where joining a call is as easy as opening a door.
