Products that do what Online dating for people who don't do online dating does
I've been quietly learning web development for about a year now after getting intoxicated by the media darling startup scene back when it was REALLY going mainsteam with the release of the social network. So I drank that koolaid and joined the club and I resolved to create a semi-competent web dev from my humble highschool CS 1 roots. A year's gone by and my first project is finally done. It's a simple online dating app that tries to make online dating appeal to a more casual crowd while removing a few of the major pitfalls of current online dating websites, most notably fear of rejection,…

Hey Hacker News! My name is Collin, 18 years old and doing a gap year after finishing high school last year. This was my first real project after starting to learn web development around 5 months ago. I came up with this idea as it was a real pain for me to find other people from my country and especially my age, learning and taking online courses about the same stuff online. Lots of these online courses include their own discord communities and forums, but I still found it very hard to connect with other people in there. Thats why I built Coursemate. I would love to get your feedback on it!…

Hey there, First time posting on Hacker News in about 2 years! The reason I’m posting is that I thought I’d write about the product I’ve been building, in hopes it resonates with people. Why build yet another social app? Because I deleted almost all social media around 3/4 years ago as it was just net negative on my life. There was very little that was truly interesting, I didn’t care about looking good to other people and because of the ‘media’ and ads, the apps were all designed to make me spend too much time for what I was getting. I hated it and what it meant for people’s behaviour,…

Hi HN! https://flat.social is a web video meeting app for organising fun online meetings & social events. Each participant can move around and talk with others in their proximity.

http://www.percodate.com/ - DO NOT PAY FOR THE SITE. Use code HEYHN if you want to sign up. I've had some experience with website development, but I'm not technical whatsoever. So I went on craigslist (in Los Angeles) to look for an engineer to build a dating site. Luckily, I found someone amazing. We agreed on $4,000 in milestone payments and $6,000 in potential bonuses if the site does well. We recently launched the site and would love your feedback. I know the design is lacking, but any feedback would be appreciated!!

Hey HackerNews folks! I first launched DatingAI.pro to help people improve their dating profiles, get reply suggestions, etc but to that I got feedback where people pointed out that someone could just impersonate their entire profile which made sense and I thought what if I could actually help people really get better at texting or conversations by giving them feedback and letting them improve via suggestions. I understand a human date can't be replaced but certainly we could help to an extent. NOTE - THIS IS NOT AN AI GIRLFRIEND. This is how it works: 1. Swipe from profiles of the opposite…

Happy new year fellow HNers! This is my first Show HN... and it's a dating website. The crowd here is not my target market, so I'm not looking for SEO/traffic, but looking for feedbacks. Lots of it. I'm fully prepared that I'll get bashed due to the nature of my product. What: An online Indonesian dating website where the ladies get paid if their date sucks. That "paid" part is just a gimmick (the feature is not fully implemented) which seems to work. So far nobody questions the lack of implementation. If people do need it, I'll implement it. Why: I want to quit my job and "do startup" but I…

Hey HN, This is DevMarket, a platform connecting technical and non-technical people to work on side projects together. You swipe right until you find a profile that resonates with you, use tools to evaluate them, and start a project with clear agreements in place. It’s designed as an end-to-end solution for cofounder matching, and our motivation is to make cofounder finding easy for everyone. I hope you enjoy it. Would love your feedback Daniel

We're the new kid on the dating scene, but with a different approach: an app with no swipes and no online chats at all. It's called SingleSpot. We're responding to the current dating-app fatigue by focusing on real-life interactions: our app shows you singles currently in bars and cafés around you. And that's all it does. The rest is on you ;-) The goal is to make dating social and authentic again, by removing all virtual interactions and keeping just the right amount of technology. • Short intro video: https://youtu.be/rWuDLKnzXYY • Website:…

I created http://devtest.net as a weekend project, and I'm pretty proud of it from a technical and UI standpoint. The problem is, I've built this by myself in a bit of a vacuum, to "scratch my own itch", and I don't know if this is useful to anyone other than me. I'm also not so hot on the business side and don't really know what I'm doing. Basically, I'm looking for some advice, now that I've actually launched, what now? One thing that this has shown me is that I'm capable of putting together a pretty decent web application on my own in my spare time. Should I stick with this idea, or…

My partner and I are developing an app at the moment which gives people the opportunity to crowdsource dating advice exclusively from people of the opposite sex. That is, women seek advice from men, and vice versa. The fundamental concept is to break down the barriers of communication between men and women and give people a more reliable source of advice than the usual channels such as friends - who can either be notoriously unreliable or sadly may not have the best intentions. People would post information anonymously about their situation by way of a short message and would also have the…
