Ask HN: Better than online dating?
2 comments
"Creepy" doesn't even begin to describe LBS dating apps.
Totally agree - this is why we want to maintain anonymity (unlike online dating). So would you find our app "less creepy" since we only show you dots on a map (with no contact details, chats...etc)?
While we never thought of it as "online dating", a few people have been comparing this with LBS dating apps like Loopt. Of course I don't agree with this because I see our app more like a fish finder for singles - we don't introduce you to a specific fish, just show you where is a good place to drop your line.
Anyway, I'm interested in some informed and unbiased views on this. Is this app the same as online dating? If not, do you think people would find this useful/entertaining?
