Guys just hear me out. I want to tell my story and explain why I made this decision. And even if you find it crazy, then at least you should know my story.
It's an amazing feeling when one day you just decide to take a different path than the one everyone else followed. You are left with that sensation of "What if it doesn't work? What if I fail?" I quit my software engineer job to pursue the entrepreneurial dream for over half a year now, and you want to know something? It feels good.
No, you're definitely not crazy to think that way, so I'll try and answer the second thought you might be having: why should you build a dating app?
I'll start off with why I got into tech in the first place. Back in 2015 a dating app called "Plenty Of Fish" sold its company to Match Group for $575 million dollars. I was super curious as to why. So I downloaded the app myself. I had the worst experience ever! It was the worst user interface I've ever seen. I told myself I could do so much better if I only had the tech skills. So I started my tech journey and became an engineer myself. Fast forwards 6 years and here I am, doing exactly what I envisioned all those years ago!
"What's da Catch?"
It's the name of my dating app. Catchy isn't it? (Pun intended.)
Here's what makes WDC different: it's all about being straightforward with your intentions. No one wants to spend time and emotional energy for weeks talking to someone who never was on the same page in the first place. That's no longer an issue.
Basically, for every person you match with, you choose one of three intentions: Date, Friends, or Something Casual. You'll both see what the other person chooses. From there, you decide whether or not you want to engage in a conversation.
If you aren't sure about your initial intentions, no worries. Start a conversation and within 30 minutes to an hour, we will hit you with a prompt asking you "What's Da Catch? How do you feel about xyz? That way, we can try to save you endless small talk and get you straight to the point.
The app is still in the works, But you can come to check out the website and keep on the lookout for future updates and app releases. WDC
