I set it up and was conspicuously swiping in bed. My wife is all hey, what are you doing? I’m all nothing.. put the phone down on the dresser.
No, let me see your phone etc. I relent, she opens the app with sulphur smoldering in her nostrils lol, then she starts poking around, and we have been having a really great night since.
In a similar vein, we used "Kinder", which is like Tinder except it's for choosing baby names - it shows you names that both you and your partner swiped right on.
Does my wife also get this so she can be on the other side? Nevermind... I don't need the sad reality of her trying to swipe left and telling me she thinks the app is broken.
This reminds me of an old Gallagher (the Sledge-o-Matic guy) joke, where he was throwing out product ideas: "Playboy for married guys... Every month, same girl!"
This is such a fun idea - taking something like Tinder and turning it into a tiny act of daily love is oddly wholesome. I’d actually love to see some silly stats tracked, like 'Total swipes right' or 'Days streak'. Nice little personal UX twist.
Can't try because Android phone best phone, but I already have a request.
Can we get messages? It isn't that uncommon where I live to have several instant messaging apps, and having a separate channel for chats with my partner is actually great. Easier to manage alerts and notifications, doesn't mix with the other channels, etcetera.
A tender is the cart that contains the coal in steam locomotives, so it's a burden you can't get rid of. Not sure if my wife would appreciate that (if I had one)
I love this, I wonder if you could make it so your partner could create the album and vice versa? And then you could swipe left on each other with pictures you chose for the other.
Amazing! I love a good cheesy app that lets me show my appreciation. Let me know when it's on Android.
I threw together my own thing called Heart for the Android app store a while ago which sends a notification of a little heart to whomever you've paired with. :)
Does this use Apple's face-recognition tech to automatically populate pictures of your spouse, or do you have to add them manually? I was under the impression that third-party apps couldn't access the People albums in PhotoKit.
Hmm I granted access to my photos then selected an album but it says "No photos found" after. It also says "PhotoManager has 0 photos" and "DisplayedPhotos has 0 photos". I chose a shared album, if it matters.
edit: okay yeah it doesn’t work with a shared album
2013 to learn some android I wrote a program which allows my wife to track every call, every sms, payments, and later whatsapp notifications, number of steps, vitals, current location, location history and current vehicle.
It is a hugely unsecure and foolish thing to do, but hilarious when she shows the report pages to her friends.
this is pretty nice, and sort of sweet, sure shows the meanness of my own Tinder but it's only pictures of Donald Trump and you can only swipe right practical joke I played on some ex-friends.
Show HN: Tinder but it's only pictures of my wife and I can only swipe right

Create a Google Drive folder for your trip photos, sync it with OAuth, send a link to your group chat, and share the ones that everyone liked.

Question: the TOS references tender.love domain, why did you go with trytender.app for the landing page?
This is great. Props for making something fun.
Only anonymous usage and diagnostics gathered.
Not only concept but execution made me smile. Kudos to you!
(shakes fist) those were the good old days!

Maybe have the app recognize nearby Bluetooth devices so that nobody gets hurt if the user forgets to change profiles before meeting.
Hey, have you heard about this new dating app thats way better than Tinder?
