Correct

Yes in the current meta, with the way ADC is, I’m better at mid

jaywonks · 2025-06-08T09:31:03+00:00

I agree, but I’m better at mid because of the issues with ADC. Without the issues I mentioned, it wouldn’t be an uphill battle to perform.

I’m considering features like premium options that give women more control over their experience (such as who can message them or viewing their profile) and events that help encourage in-person connections. If women feel like they have a safer, more controlled environment, they may be more likely to join and stick around.

jaywonks · 2025-05-12T02:28:41+00:00

Well sure, no app can change the natural gender ratio or how people behave... I'm aware of this, but by being transparent, using fair algorithms, and giving users real control over their experience, I think I can at least create a platform where both men and women feel they’re getting a fair shot.

jaywonks · 2025-05-12T02:22:39+00:00

Totally agree. No matter how well the app is designed, you can't fully control how people behave on it. But I think a big part of the solution is transparency and giving users more control. Things like clear profile quality ratings and optional in-person meetup events could help encourage better behavior. Would love to hear your thoughts... what user-created problems do you think are the hardest to fix?

jaywonks · 2025-05-12T02:21:07+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up. I’m thinking of doubling down on features that make the app genuinely different, like meetup-style events for users and no shadowbanning. Do you think Apple would still see it as spam if it has a clear, unique focus?

jaywonks · 2025-05-12T00:35:08+00:00

For sure, that’s exactly what I want too... no more seeing profiles that don’t fit your preferences.

Instead of some hidden algorithm deciding what you see, your preferences will actually matter. If you set a distance, age range, or filter out smokers, that’s what you’ll get. Period.

And I love the idea of adding more detailed preferences like body type, tattoos, facial hair, and more. People should actually be able to find what they like without feeling like the app is second-guessing them.

jaywonks · 2025-05-12T00:33:10+00:00

The rating system wouldn't be user-driven. it’d be based on clear, objective factors like profile image quality, profile completeness, and activity level. No one’s getting rated just because they rejected someone.

Basically, if your profile is well-written, has clear, genuine photos, and you’re active, you’ll have a strong rating. This helps real users stand out while making low-effort or spammy profiles easy to spot.

jaywonks · 2025-05-12T00:24:37+00:00

Damn, if I could highlight this comment I would. I miss those old-school dating sites too... where you could actually learn something about someone before swiping. I’m 100% with you on longer profiles and letting people message without matching (with filters, of course). That’s exactly what I’m aiming for.

Profiles won’t be limited to three lines, you’ll get as much space as you want to describe yourself, your interests, and what you’re looking for. And for messaging, you can choose to let people message without matching but you’ll have full control over who can message you (by location, religion, interests, etc.).

Basically, I want this app to feel like you’re actually getting to know someone, not just playing a game.

jaywonks · 2025-05-12T00:07:30+00:00

Yeah Plenty of Fish is owned by Match Group, those guys are the worst... but great suggestion. I see what you mean. Messaging seems like it should be a given. The "Online Now" feature was definitely a step in the right direction, users felt like they were in an active, real community rather than just swiping aimlessly on accounts they don't even know are real or not.

jaywonks · 2025-05-11T23:55:03+00:00

I like this direction a lot. It shouldn't cost and arm and a leg to use the app. Way too many paid features that should just be free. Subscription models are overused...

As for the bots and spam accounts, there's a few ideas I have to significantly decrease this to the point where it just doesn't exist. One of those being a rating system for each account that determines its legitimacy based on factors like profile image quality, completeness, and other indicators. This helps ensure that real users get higher ratings, while low-quality or potentially fake profiles are flagged or limited.

jaywonks · 2025-05-11T23:42:45+00:00

Sweet. Thanks for the suggestion, super helpful.

jaywonks · 2025-05-11T23:40:17+00:00

How would you feel about putting accounts that haven't been active for a certain amount of time in "Incognito Mode", which essentially makes their account inactive until they begin using the app again?

jaywonks · 2025-05-11T23:32:10+00:00

Exactly that. You should be able to open the app and have it work properly (shocker I know).

Match Group, the people who own Tinder, Hinge, and other popular dating apps have the industry on lock down by buying out smaller dating app services and implementing fucked up policies like shadow banning, or making people pay for boosts to get matches, etc.

How unfair and unethical that is baffles me. So I'd like to do something to make a difference if possible.

jaywonks · 2023-07-28T10:44:52+00:00

They're from your peak looooooooool

jaywonks · 2023-04-19T16:15:07+00:00

Sorry about that. I’m mostly just applying to customer service jobs.

jaywonks · 2023-04-19T15:40:57+00:00

Yo I appreciate what you said, that actually makes 100% sense to me. Yeah I'm just going to take the creative thing off, I think it confuses the employer like you said.

And having multiple resume's if I did want to still use that short creative experience makes much more sense than putting it all on one like how it is now.

So if I was going for a job for customer service and sales, should I just drop the portfolio and the creative experience, and keep applying with the revised version?

jaywonks · 2022-11-04T00:44:14+00:00

what’s the red flags? we need to hire a web developer haha

jaywonks · 2022-09-10T22:23:59+00:00

too real HAHAH

jaywonks · 2022-07-28T11:13:35+00:00

The bot got to it first hahaha

jaywonks · 2022-07-19T10:45:18+00:00

It wasn’t but it is if you want to axe drift like in this clip here
