Ask HN: Who is working on a new dating app?

1 points by xerox-elf ↗ HN
I'm sick and tired of the Tinders and Hinges of the world. Whenever this subject comes up, the HN community is quick to pontificate on hypothetical solutions; but is anybody actually working on an alternative?

I find the the dating app world fascinating, it's trying to replicate something you can only find out in person through not actually being in person. I think there's tons of opportunity here for building real connection.

I wouldn't say I'm working on a dating app but in my free time I host singles and social events for people to connect and have fun! As part of this I'm working on some apps that largely function as a reverse dating app. Meet in person but follow up online without the risk of giving away your personal information. We'll see where it goes, but its been fun so far!
