    As a basically-everything-except-Chrome user, I'm increasingly skeptical of excuses this. There's almost certainly some feature(s) that you've spent a lot of time on that provide less value than having the app working in Fire

    I'm a "software engineer", but I know a plenty of other "software engineers" who know less about TCP/IP than IT people I know. What about being a SWE makes you feel more suited for the job?

    Interesting idea. I think you'd need to be very diligent to create an experience that doesn't give off a dating app vibe. See "MeetMe" and others who claim to be about meeting people near you, but are really just filled
