NotAZombie: The text-first dating app.
For the past few years, I’ve been working with a couple friends to create a healthier online dating ecosystem. People have become increasingly disillusioned with picture-focused swipe-based dating apps; it feels like they don't really work anymore.
We reasoned that we could fix a lot about the bad dynamics of dating apps with a small fix: only show a user’s pictures after you’ve seen what they wrote. To make the text visually appealing, we came up with something called a tile, which is a card where you write 7 phrases about yourself and can customize the colors and fonts. Users can browse the tiles and click on the ones that seem interesting, revealing the full profile with pictures.
We're still growing the platform, so check it out and see what you think :)
