I think the Hinge being referred to is a dating app? I have no idea. https://hinge.co/ https://hinge.co/

    Apparently I have. Is this particular dating app particularly noteworthy?

      I envy the fact you had to google it
      • stackghost 9mo ago
        Again, why? Nothing on its wiki article or the first page of Google results suggests it should be a household name. So unless the default assumption is that everyone on HN is dating (I'm married) I genuinely don't understand why it's weird to not have heard of some random ass dating app

          Because it used to be the "best" dating app out there for "serious" people wanting long term relationships. Now all the apps are trash and have predatory monetization.

            I know Hinge because of the HN post about the data leak a few months ago.

          Even if you're married, you've got to know somebody who isn't. It's like referring to Google as "some random ass search engine website" and wondering why people think you're the weird one.

            Ok

              I don't think you're wierd for not knowing. I also didn't know

      The Hinge app I know of is from my healthcare provider, and reminds me to do stretches. It also has a pretty great TENS device peripheral. I wouldn't expect young single people to know about that app, because it serves a different demographic.

  I think this is one of those things where if you're married (like me) you only have the most peripheral sense of the popularity of these things and if you're single they potentially occupy way too much of your thoughtspace.
