Show HN: Tinder but it's only pictures of my wife and I can only swipe right

[K0balt]

This is great.

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.

[risquer]

This made my morning! Thank you for sharing

[pigcat]

I did the same thing! We had a good laugh.

[rkangel]

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.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kinder-find-baby-names/id10684...

[Bridged7756]

Now hear me out, Tinder but for kids. Could go by the same "Kinder" name.

[strken]

This made me realise that I want Tinder but for arbitrary content and able to be shared via links - photos, restaurants, date and times, or whatever.

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.

[lesuorac]

StumbleUpon2?

> StumbleUpon was a website, browser extension, toolbar, and mobile app with a "Stumble!" button that, when pushed, opened a semi-random website or video that matched the user's interests, similar to a random web search engine.[1] Users were able to filter results by type of content and were able to discuss such webpages via virtual communities and to rate such webpages via like buttons. StumbleUpon was shut down in June 2018.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StumbleUpon

[Buttons840]

How about Tinder that shows content instead of pictures of your date, and then sets up dates with people who like similar content.

[blendaddict]

Isn't that just TikTok and TikTok share button?

[ecolonsmak]

I built a small throwaway project that's kinda like that. https://flipr.social/

I should add the links for sharing as a feature update.

[pwdisswordfishz]

What do you do when every restaurant swipes left on you?

[HSO]

This would actually be a really good idea except it´s 100% this will be abused in no time and a cesspool of disgusting or disturbing pics "for lulz"

On the other hand, arent infinite socmedia scrolls not already this but for the ux? with the like or bookmark serving as your right scroll?

[dsauerbrun]

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.

[cornholio]

There is also a "you can only swipe left" mode, which you can unlock for a small subscription fee.

The premium mode also places pictures of your partner's exes and coworkers on their swipe feed and notifies you immediately of any infraction.

[nashashmi]

Swipe left brings a picture of you before you got married.

[AlecSchueler]

[flagged]

[tuesdaynight]

I know that we should only comment if we have something to add to the discussion, but this is really sweet. Congrats!

[strotter]

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!"

[1234letshaveatw]

Thanks honey this is great! Wait, who was behind the camera???

[paulwilsonn]

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.

[risquer]

you can see total swipes and shares in the settings :)

[Wolfenstein98k]

Thanks, I've been looking for a way to swipe right on your wife.

[codeTired]

Reddit is leaking.

[growt]

I also choose this guys wife!

[egypturnash]

This is the best post I have ever seen on this site.

[leptons]

But... but... there's no "AI" content in it.

[slmjkdbtl]

The view is cut off on iPhone13 mini

https://space55.xyz/files/tmp/tender_screenshot.jpg

[Traubenfuchs]

Please don‘t the cat.

[risquer]

oops, sorry will get that fixed! cute cat though

[bobbiechen]

Wow, I use the Google Photos widget in much the same way with photos of my wife. What a great idea.

[buhrmi]

You should get the "It's a match!" alert on every swipe

[GTP]

Better, change it to "It was a match!" or "It's still a match!".

[stavros]

Lit match emoji.

[rufus_foreman]

OnlyFans but it's just my girlfriend and all she does is complain about how I load the dishwasher.

[1234letshaveatw]

the free trial sucked me in

[throwawayoldie]

...I think you and I need to have a talk, since apparently you're dating my wife.

[TrainedMonkey]

Amazing, is there a plan to add comment and a pickup line features?

[risquer]

No, you can share a pic with with your partner by swiping up but I don’t really plan on adding anything new - the plan is actually to open source it and anyone can add anything they want

[ceejayoz]

It needs Facebook's old "poke" feature.

[higgins]

Brilliant.

Question: the TOS references tender.love domain, why did you go with trytender.app for the landing page?

[hengheng]

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.

[dudeinjapan]

I dunno I would feel awkward swiping pics of your wife all day, especially if my gf caught me doing it.

[wkat4242]

What if his girlfriend caught him swiping right on his wife? Mayhem

[pclowes]

But how are you going to monetize? Are you looking to raise? Moat seems low to me tbh... ;)

This is great. Props for making something fun.

[jwr]

Also, where are the AI features? What's your AI strategy? And how much tracking data do you generate and sell?

More seriously, thank you for creating this, it's refreshing and fun.

[Retr0id]

the premium version lets you swipe right on some other guy's wife

[Fervicus]

Add pics of other women too. Charge the wife so she gets notified if he swipes right on anyone else.

[1024core]

Monetization is easy. Threaten to show them somebody else's pictures: pay up or we'll show you photos of your sexy neighbor (could be AI-generated). And tell your partner.

[risquer]

i heard yc applications just opened today

[jkestner]

Monetize by supplying captchas with images of your wife. Bonus is you can train the self-driving cars not to hit her.

[adamhartenz]

Definitely needs microtransactions, or loot boxes

[ls-a]

Also are you hiring?

[jenders]

Great idea but cue Tinder trademark lawyers in 3… 2… 1…

[wyldfire]

That would be no problem for OP I'd be happy to write them back. It's not infringing if you're not doing any business.

[suyash]

and not to forget the patent lawyer for "swiping gesture" patent claim that will hit

[risquer]

sorry... i made an app like "the swiping app"...

[guyroyse]

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

[megamix]

Love it! What about the legal stuff? That Match group is notorious for running after every little violation of their patent or name collision.

[abrookewood]

Very cute. Congrats on the launch.

[bravesoul2]

Feature request. Ex-wife pics added to the deck and for those you have to swipe left.

[rgbaww]

Wife gets an alert if you accidently swipe right on ex-wife. Modernized Minesweeper.

[rightbyte]

Nice. You need to add coop support with P2P chat and so she can swipe right on you for a match.

[risquer]

I’ll message jack dorsey to see if he wants to collab

[adastra22]

I'm sure she's a fine lady, but I don't need to swipe right on pictures of your wife.

[swyx]

i also choose this guy's wife to swipe

[vladmk]

Too bad for you - you’re missing out

[b_e_n_t_o_n]

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.

[ctm92]

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)

[imchillyb]

Tinder, however, is a kindling for a fire. Love is a blaze.

I believe the metaphor is succinct.

[OJFord]

'unable to connect' - are you geoblocking me (UK) or something? I had this with something else here recently, who's it hosted with if you don't mind?

[risquer]

was this the website? it's hosted on cloudflare so maybe they think you're a bot or something?

[PokerFacowaty]

"helps couples rediscover the joy of swiping" never for a second have I felt joy while swiping

[falconertc]

Sounds like this is not for you then. I think a lot of people have had different experiences with it than you have

[henry700]

that's part of the joke, poking at the useless corporate lingo

[xlii]

First glance: in-app purchases. Unfold list - tip, tip and tip (different amounts).

Only anonymous usage and diagnostics gathered.

Not only concept but execution made me smile. Kudos to you!

[AustinBGibbons]

This is a great idea for toddlers and family photo albums

[stemlord]

There is no such on-screen experience that is good for toddlers, imo

[giantg2]

For some, this might be a psychological torture device.

[darajava]

Aw I actually gave a tip but the app didn't say thanks :( Also when the Settings menu pops up the underlying photo changes.

[risquer]

dara, thank you so much! I appreciate it more than you know (so does my wife haha)

[nurettin]

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.

[subpixel]

I'm too old to have used Tinder, but I connected with my wife on Friendster.

(shakes fist) those were the good old days!

[gw_shadow]

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. :)

[squokko]

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.

[petesergeant]

You have to create the album yourself using Apple’s face recognition tech (Select All, Add to Album), and then tell it which album that is

[bluescrn]

Left swipes will be added later as a $2.99 microtransaction for a bundle of 5 swipes.

[mynameisjoseph]

Why this sweet kind of app is not on the android! Please remind you that there are plenty of couples in android too.

[anal_reactor]

I have a folder with furry art and when I'm bored I scroll that.

[alienbaby]

When your bored why not go and pay some attention to your wi- .. oh.

[michaelhoney]

Hey, I just wanted to say that this is really fun and nice and my partner loves it. Well done!

[Scrapemist]

Did you made it for yourself or for your wife?

[phyzix5761]

Yes

[angrydingo]

A really nice warm feeling was had by all

[durakot]

Am ready to participate in the seed round.

[ahartmetz]

Injecting new capital, eh?

[pharrington]

PHRASING?

[koakuma-chan]

wtf

[defraudbah]

̶B̶l̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶t̶w̶i̶c̶e̶ make 3 quick swipes, 3 slow swipes and 3 quick swipes if you are kept in hostage

[kindkang2024]

Really nice. My wife loves it, Also I.

[SamInTheShell]

You sir, have delivered upon me an entire "ha ha" that I could not hold in. Thanks.

[zacharynewton]

Finally.... Some wholesome tech

[prmoustache]

Aren't all gallery app using swipe as default mode for switching pictures?

[sandymcmurray]

Wholesome and sweet. Thank you! I'll gladly add to the flower fund.

[oceansky]

Joined the android wait-list

[risquer]

appreciate you!

[dotancohen]

Feature request: Can we have multiple profiles? So the user can do one set of photos with one girl, another set when with another girl.

Maybe have the app recognize nearby Bluetooth devices so that nobody gets hurt if the user forgets to change profiles before meeting.

[countfeng]

Sometimes it is inevitable to choose to swiperight against your will

[dotcoma]

Swipe left and you get a divorce and you’re screwed.

[BouncySpud]

Brilliant. Can't wait to prank my gf. Waiting for the andriod

[rolandog]

Love the idea! Congrats on launching and being #couplegoals!

[aprilthird2021]

Favorite post in a long while on here. Thanks for sharing!

[brtkwr]

How about turning it into a game by flashing random photos non-wife where a right swipe penalises you?

[thimabi]

There are other comments joking about how this app will never secure funding unless it implements an AI feature… well, problem solved! Just have the app periodically flash AI-generated photos of women similar to the wife.

[kolanos]

I swiped but your wife didn't match. What gives?

[mbgerring]

Serious question: does this support polycules

[mbgerring]

As a wife’s boyfriend I need to know

[amelius]

I want this under my "boss key" :)

[jwpapi]

Can i upload my own pictures and share the girls on Tinder my own version of it, where they only see me?

Hey, have you heard about this new dating app thats way better than Tinder?

[conartist6]

Clearly needs to be called WifeWallet

[cutemonster]

Or RightWife?

[crinkly]

Can I swipe left when I get divorced?

[elpakal]

I call this guy’s app but for China

[sapphicsnail]

This is adorable and made my day!

[evenzero]

i clicked expecting a joke but was not expecting this quality of frontend. kudos!

[terminatornet]

Very funny idea, well done!

[fotta]

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

[bwfan123]

lovely app, beautiful idea. might save relationships.

[smrtinsert]

Love it, cuteware.

[vincefutr23]

Seems like perfect scope for vibe coding. Was that done?

[bogzz]

why? just why even ask that? i don't quite get the ubiquity of the LLM hype here, and at this point it's starting to feel artificial

[risquer]

some ai coding tools were used but that's just the development process nowadays

[mmaunder]

That this needs to exist is deeply disturbing.

[998244353]

What?

This doesn't "need to" exist, it's just a funny parody that someone made.

[Mashimo]

What are you even talking about?

[arjvik]

Made my day!

[makach]

April first?

[reaperducer]

Whatever she wants.

[sagebird]

ok do pornhub next

[rurban]

This is the fancy version of no downvote button. Or there could be a good news website with no bad news. Sceptical

[bryanrasmussen]

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.

[Tanjim]

Lol. But this can be pivoted into something fun and lovely for couples.

[reactordev]

Wait till she takes everything in the divorce 10 years from now…

[Toby1VC]

bad ending

[absoluteunit1]

This would do so well on some subreddits lol

[MrPapz]

Ahahahah. Made me laugh hard. Thank you.

[jldugger]

"Take my wife, please!"

[999900000999]

Pivot.

Develop a version that's just pictures of yourself for narcissist.

Use AI to make you look thinner and more in shape.

[impish9208]

Downloaded the app and paid for premium. Still no wife. Devs pls fix.

[m463]

don't know if fix is ai search, or ai results

[HPMOR]

underrated comment

[Msurrow]

Well with women you just have to act like you don’t care, and stop showing an interest. So stop with the pull requests and start submitting some push requests..

(This is satie for those of you who needs to have it spelled out :-)

[heavyd3]

fr

[heavyd]

she big too

[GTP]

Your situation was very different than an app made as a joke, the joke being that Tinder would be used to cheat on your partner, while here a similar app does the opposite.

[heavyd5]

legend

[ibejoeb]

What did you do wrong?

Serious questions:

    - What's the mobile tech? Is the android version just help up in the store or are you building two native apps?

    - What server side?

[risquer]

Hahaha

SwiftUI and havent made a start on android - it would be compose

No server, everything is on device except for firebase analytics

[dolmen]

There is no need for server side. Just host pictures on the phone.

If 2 apps allow to sends pics to the partner, share via local network (extended with Tailscale).
