There are alternatives! (Scruff, sniffies, squirt)
Thankfully the “let me chat with people, shown in a list by order of proximity, with some custom filters” is basically a weekend project worth of work. Seen quite a few alternative apps (and web apps!) pop up over the past few years.
- lopis 3y agoSaying there are alternatives to Grindr is like saying there are alternatives to reddit or Instagram. I don't think I need to explain HN the meaning of network effect. In many places around the world all other apps are literally empty.
- graypegg 3y agoNot really in my experience? People aren’t very picky about the app they use, and many people I know (me included) will keep profiles on 2-3. Totally possible this is only a thing here? (Canada, Toronto / Montréal) I have a feeling it’s pretty common though.
