Noice

Most problems with straight dating apps is too many guys and very small amount of girls. So if someone is dedicated enough to make something like, they don't have the reach to get to girls to sign up. Unless they are marketing minded, then they just wanna make money with their "idea"

KDE gonna start shipping with Krindr

The recommended link to download is still https://opengrind.org/guides/download as well as Forgejo https://git.opengrind.org/open-grind/open-grind/releases

F-Droid is a backup for people who don't want to egress to Open Grind infra (even though the promise not to log, analyze any IPs is legally binded by the Privacy Policy, but I understand them) or those who want to be sure every new release is reproducible (if they don't trust Open Grind CI that verifies this automatically before each release).

Google Play is temporal listing that will get taken down soon, but it does add credibility.

Nice to hear that it works on GrapheneOS. If you do encounter any issues, please report them anywhere you want — Forgejo issues, Matrix chat, or even personally to me so I can relay them properly. I can't test on GrapheneOS because don't have a compatible device, but I assume many Open Grind users are running it on GrapheneOS.

did you figure out the problem between grindr and graphene?

Not that I know of. Tinder is pretty hard to reverse-engineer, Meta-levels of bot automation detection (where bot automation means anything that doesn't go through their official client in a way they intended)

Guess I have to update my orientation to preserve my commitment to FOSS options.

This is the Gay Agenda the bible bashers have been warning me about…

Someone in the community already works on it. I personally don't see a point in it — Grindr sucks in every way, all other apps are better experience-wise. Grindr is gay culture, mentioned in songs, memes, essentially every gay man in the world who has internet knows what Grindr is. 100 M profiles dating pool. It's not realistic even for competitors to reach a fraction of this, let alone a federated social. And if you do know what federation, decentralization and XMPP are — why would you use a hookup app anyway instead of utilizing existing federation apps and social networks to find someone you like? ;)

we have the majority of users struggling to register in Matrix to join the discussion chat. how many technically-skilled open gays (and queers) ready to publicly broadcast their sexual orientation & gender and the fact they're dating as well as their full dating profile by self-hosting some decentralized dating server do you think on average are in each city in the world? maybe a handful in the most developed countries. I doubt there'll be even a dozen in my city (Madrid) though

the lawyer? oh ok i got it 💀

Should be the default!

there was a huge demand after grindrplus with hundreds of thousands of users got shutdown ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honey, it’s a gay hookup app. If you are a man looking for sex with a woman you are going to be disappointed.

Yes, it's a regression in recent version, tracked in https://git.opengrind.org/open-grind/open-grind/issues/372. Will be fixed in the follow-up update this week.

For now you have to do that via the official app. You could attempt to register directly with raw APIs using https://git.opengrind.org/open-grind/grindr-api-dev-tool too, but it requires a reCAPTCHA enterprise token, which you have to mint somehow.

You might as well just clone the source code and build an ipa ;)
