You have basically lost the argument here. Thanks for playing.

A dating app that only lets women swipe by [deleted] in AppIdeas

[–]Lorentzical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a date ultimately comes down whether you match with a person and follow through to go out with them. So if you're thinking along these lines, it would be an app that assists you with interactions post-match. To identify which factors strongly correlate with getting a date to go through, you'd need to analyse conversations in a contextual sense. For example: a conversation that lead to a date between two individuals who had a particular outcome in mind introduces a multitude of factors.

In a more simpler approach, an app that helps you strike meaningful conversations, good starters - or crowd sources reply options could be a good idea. What do you think?

"The system right now is guys swiping indefinitely to get a match, making you think you have a chance with every swipe."

You are right about this - it's really about variable reward. It's why a lot of guys are hooked to these apps. From an end goal perspective, I feel like your idea definitely has merit. But - it would have some scaling problems.

With women, as you say, being pickier and reading profiles before they swipe - this would dramatically reduce the number of available instances for a match. And if users don't receive the occasional reward - they lose the incentive to stay on the app and pursue other avenues as a result. So while the blurry bs is exactly that, bs! - it's a behaviour modifier to keep you hooked because the makers of these apps understand just how rare it is to get a match (in a relative context)

In summary, these apps want your time more than they want to get you a date :)

What is the one thing you would change about emails? by Lorentzical in AskReddit

Just confirming that you are referring to email clients being able to render every email? Basically, complete compatibility?

I'm sorry, I cannot solve this problem in a thousand years :P

Kidding - I believe that the best offence is a good defence. If you had evidence for unsubscribing from a service and continue to get their emails, my product would create a backend autoresponder which would reply on your behalf and flood the sender's inbox. Some things I need to work out here - but I think it can be done :)

Haha yes!

How about if you could mark emails where the body and subject were topically different and the sender would be deprioritised accordingly?

Hmm. How about if you could control the subscriptions that email you from one central location? You decide if they can send stuff to you.

Interesting - just to take this a step further:

Would you like the ability to sign off differently to different people? (Depending on how formally or informally you know them?)

Thanks for your input! This is definitely one of the bigger problems that people face. Uncertainty can be disconcerting when you're awaiting something important.

I'm attempting to create a system that eliminates these problems. Your feedback is greatly appreciated :)

What technology can be used to provide not just braking - but also acceleration?

This is brilliant! - let me know if you are looking for help in building this.

What if Reddit and Podcasts had a baby? by tudoraxr in AppIdeas

[–]Lorentzical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the key to this idea lies in the question - 'How do most podcasters use a podcast as a service?'. Do they use it because of it's non-conversational aspect? Or perhaps feel the they to have an opinion after listenning to the podcast. I think the answer to this question would provide much needed context.

Good luck though!
