App Testing

[Zealot]

How many of you guys a) use Androids and b) want to download the alpha version of my app and let me know how it runs/looks?

First, I honestly I wish you luck, Zealot, and if it ever comes to iPhone I would gladly volunteer to look at it. I don’t have an android, though.

I also dunno at all how app building works and I assume it’s cheaper on android, but you may consider adding iPhone if you want it to be long term. iPhone has completely dominated the teen market, who will be adults soon:

Is it possible to know what the function of the app is? I’m on Iphone but I’d love to help out with testing when you get to working on that version

Fucking is not it's main purpose but it is a foreseeable outcome.

To give the pitch here: The way all the most popular dating apps are set up, there are 5 hurdles you need to overcome.

First, you have to find someone you want to match with.
Second, you have to actually match with that person, which could be entirely out of your control. Their profile might be inactive without you knowing it. Their distance settings might preclude them from ever seeing you. They might accidentally swipe left. They may just see your first photo and say no without looking at anything else.
Third, let's say you've found someone and matched with them. Now a conversation has to start. The majority of times, no one makes a move after matching.
Fourth, ok, you've seen someone, matched with them, and started talking - now that conversation has to actually go somewhere and not just die out after a few half-hearted back-and-forths.
Finally, you found someone, you matched with them, you've been speaking, and it got up to the point where you made plans. You go on the date, and it's bad. Now you're back at square one.

So I asked myself, rather than go through all that, why not just do something I wanted to do anyway and see if anyone wants to come with me?

Meet Cute works in 2 different ways: first, on your home page, you'll see a scrollable list of everyone in your area using the app and a social media-like status of something they're looking to do. The status stays up until someone gets a match or takes it down themself, so there's no danger you'll ever miss anyone who's currently available. From the user's perspective, if you put up that some new bar opened in town and you'd like to check it out, or a movie is showing that you're going to go see, you would leave that status up, and every time someone tapped on it (which would also pull up your profile for viewing), they could decide if they wanted to send you a notification letting you know they were interested (which lets you see their profile). If the two of you (or more!) match, all that's left is to work out the whens and wheres.

The second way is that Meet Cute will have a page which will let you scroll through all of the businesses advertising on our app in your area. If you see something you like, clicking on it will bring you to a page where you'll be able to see everyone else in your area who has shown interest. The hope is that our advertisers will offer special deals for people who match through the app, incentivizing people to use Meet Cute to go out.

One of the overall goals is to keep it permanently free for all users - all revenue will be generated through advertising. There will never be premium tiers or paid profile boosts or anything every other dating app has.

The one exception is if people are also advertising themselves - say they have an Etsy page, a YouTube channel, an OnlyFans, a Twitch stream, or what have you - we will look into offering a minimal fee, maybe like $5 a month, to let people advertise those things directly.

The best way I've heard it described is through a person I met with a few years ago and pitched the idea to, who said "I love it, because what you've done here isn't just make a dating app, you've made a way for people to make new friends in their 30s."

Since the first question I get is always about safety, for those people using statuses to find matches, there will be a warning never to disclose specific details about where and when you're going to be anywhere until you've actually matched with someone. Beyond that, there's no more risk than the kind involved in any other app used to meet strangers on the internet.
