I’m building an anti-swipe dating app — would love brutally honest feedback from other founders
I’m building Ever After, a dating platform designed around a problem I kept seeing with existing apps: people have endless options, but very little information about whether someone is actually compatible or ready for a relationship.
Instead of making swiping the core experience, we’re building around compatibility, emotional intelligence, relationship readiness, values, and intentional introductions.
One concept we’re testing is giving users a Relationship Archetype based on their assessment before asking them to become a paid member.
The idea is to provide something genuinely useful upfront rather than immediately putting the product behind a paywall.
I’d love founder/user feedback on a few things:
Does the concept make sense immediately?
Would a Relationship Archetype be valuable enough for you to complete an assessment?
What would you need to see before paying for a dating membership?
Does “anti-swipe dating” feel differentiated, or does it sound like marketing language?
What would make you trust a new dating platform enough to actually join?
I’m especially interested in criticism. We’re still early enough to change things, so “I wouldn’t use this because…” is probably more useful to me than “looks great.”
