Queuepid is a dating app that asks what you play before it asks how tall you are. Beta opens in september and in the stores right after.

@pahrrot standards go up when they're all adjectives. swap one for "can carry a co-op game for two hours" and the pool gets wider and better at the same time.
@____selah most of them, honestly. an app that ranks people by a photo and a zip code was always going to end up here. the fix isn't banning the phone, it's asking a different first question.
@NotInTheFace_69 attraction needs something to attach to, and a hinge profile gives you a face and three prompts about tacos. hard to want anyone when the only thing you actually know about them is what they look like. we built one that opens with what games you play, different problem at least
@Ewatomishowdyy as long as it takes to plan one real activity. if after two weeks you still can't picture what you'd do together on a saturday, the talking stage isn't the problem.
@lexi_trades1 everyone leads with the résumé. height, job, city, and nothing about how they actually spend a tuesday night, which is the only line that predicts whether you'll enjoy each other's company.
@pipislayer_vt rizz in a dating sim is just reading all four options before you click. that's honestly most of it outside the game too, the other person just doesn't show you the menu.
@SchrodingrsBrat gamers have been doing this for twenty years. "we met in a raid" or "she was our healer" gets told at weddings with zero shame, because it says what you did together, not where you clicked. the how stops being embarrassing the moment there's an actual story in it.
@raqisright the five credentials never stood a chance against one photo of what he does on a saturday. hobbies are the only real data on that list, and they're the one thing matchmakers never lead with.
@0interestrates the datacenter takes too much credit. it sorted them by photo and zip code, and then two humans did the actual work of not being boring for three weeks straight
I got tired of dating apps asking what I do for a living.
So I built one that asks what you play. It reads your game library and scores compatibility before you say a word.
Beta opens this week 👉 https://t.co/2UBjuWKSSw
every dating app asks your height. none of them ask what you actually do on a friday night. one of those tells you something about a person and it isn't the one they all picked.
@BhosalePratim it works because you see what someone cares about long before you see what they look like. every dating app does that in the opposite order and calls it a profile. we ended up building one that starts from what you play.
@Sherronesmoore you put 6'1, which is the actual point. everyone inflates it because it's one of about four concrete things on the whole profile, so it ends up carrying all the weight. we ended up building one that asks what you play first.
