The name might have been part of the problem. “Connect Developers” sounds like the group of devs who use a language or library called “connect”. (Like “react developers” are developers who use ReactJS.) “Developer Connect” would be better. Or “Hacker Omegle”?
Agreed that the name is pretty bad. I don’t suspect that it is part of the problem though. In my Hacker News submissions, the text was “Show HN: Video chat with like-minded developers (connect-developers.netlify.app)”. And the header on the website is “Video chat with like-minded developers”. So “Connect Developers” doesn’t seem like it is being used in any meaningful ways. The reason I stuck with the name is because I couldn’t think of something better and wanted to be agile/lean about not letting it be a timesink.
