Show HN: Catalst – Find out who has a crush on you
- acrs 6y agoThis is a site I built to help people who are interested in each other find out. When you feed it e-mail addresses of people that you like, it anonymously invites those people to submit their own lists. If the site finds a match, it lets you both know and provides a way to chat. It started as an amusing project to help some friends, but I also wanted to build something with a little complexity with a few tools I hadn't used previously. So far the site only uses e-mail addresses to look for matches, but it should be straightforward to add other types of identifiers (e.g. Twitter handles) down the line. I'd appreciate feedback on any aspect of the site. It was a lot of fun to build, and I'd like to make sure it's as useful as possible for people. If you play with it, please try matching with someone else or with one of your other e-mail addresses. That will let you see the whole flow, including the chat page for talking with matches. Thanks for checking it out!

- acrs 6y agoE-mail seemed like a good starting point before adding anything else, but it definitely won't work for everyone. The site was partly inspired by friends who got together after a long time when they eventually realized that they were both interested in each other. E-mail could have worked in a case like that, but other people might need phone numbers or something else.
