Tired of swipe culture? I built a dating app that matches people by personality and shared interests. AMA

Hey everyone!

I am Co-founder of Zupid, a new dating app built to go beyond looks and swipes. It's designed around Interests, Personality, and Real Photos - not just Popularity!

  • Our algorithm doesn’t care how many likes/dislikes you have - it focuses only on your interests and personality to show you genuinely compatible people.

  • Match based on what you truly love - whether it's Ironman, FRIENDS, cricket, biryani, cats, or road trips. Your interests actually shape who you see.

  • Show your vibe through personality spectrums – like introvert-extrovert, emotional-logical, spontaneous-planner. It's quick, fun, and helps people understand you better.

  • No bots, fake pics, or meme profiles. Every photo is first checked by our algorithm, then manually reviewed by our team to keep the platform 100% real.

  • No shadowbans - either you're in, or permanently banned for repeated violations

  • Just launched a report feature (even works after unmatching) to tackle harassment and scams. We’ve already permanently banned 50+ accounts to keep things clean and safe.

We care about trust, authenticity, and building a genuine community even if it grows slow.

If you like apps built with care and zero shady stuff, try it out! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.zupid.app

Happy to hear your honest thoughts!

make it one match at a time, then you are solving the problem, otherwise it's just another dating app, 'how' doesn't matter

Not one match but we will restrict after a certain number ~ 8-10

If this post doesn't get traction, then all Adulting posts asking for dates are fake

If you really want to base it all upon interests and personality, remove the looks section with any pics. Let people go on blind dates, that would also increase the mystery factor 😂

Hahaha, Naa looks also play a part that's why we kept it, can't fight evolution!

Just a honest suggestion - IMO, the whole brand language (UI, colours, fonts, thumbnail size)can be worked on. Dating Apps are a product which should be ‘A’ in design language! @ToxicChai btw, all the best!

Yeah we know that :) But currently we are a team of just engineers and can't afford much.

Great concept, you can add some basic psychometric tests as differentiator. I agree, this might be cash burn at start but can really improve engagements of users. These tests restricts gaming by scam people

Getting into IIT, FAANG ,UPSC have more odds than getting something meaningful from a dating app for guys.
Anyways nice to see someone trying improve the chances

Haha. I have done one of the above and I will say no. Tinder in early 2017-2019 was too good for me. Before they shadownban me forever

I personally think, Hinge is very well-thought app. While it also has its flaws, other apps are just miles behind...
