I love this, I wonder if you could make it so your partner could create the album and vice versa? And then you could swipe left on each other with pictures you chose for the other.

Thanks, I've been looking for a way to swipe right on your wife.

Reddit is leaking.

You should get the "It's a match!" alert on every swipe
dsauerbrun · 5h ago
Does my wife also get this so she can be on the other side? Nevermind... I don't need the sad reality of her trying to swipe left and telling me she thinks the app is broken.

There is also a "you can only swipe left" mode, which you can unlock for a small subscription fee.

The premium mode also places pictures of your partner's exes and coworkers on their swipe feed and notifies you immediately of any infraction.

This reminds me of an old Gallagher (the Sledge-o-Matic guy) joke, where he was throwing out product ideas: "Playboy for married guys... Every month, same girl!"

But... but... there's no "AI" content in it.
jumperabg · 34m ago
What if his wife is AI? Are we swiping right on Grok 4?
giantg2 · 2h ago
Only thing it's missing is if you both swipe left an AI contacts a divorce attorney on your behalf.

or if your wife was in imaginary scenarios

Where's the MRR? Pfffft.

That's what you think. How do you think it recognizes your partner??

I know that we should only comment if we have something to add to the discussion, but this is really sweet. Congrats!
bobbiechen · 5h ago
Wow, I use the Google Photos widget in much the same way with photos of my wife. What a great idea.
TrainedMonkey · 6h ago
Amazing, is there a plan to add comment and a pickup line features?
risquer · 6h ago
No, you can share a pic with with your partner by swiping up but I don’t really plan on adding anything new - the plan is actually to open source it and anyone can add anything they want
ceejayoz · 3h ago
It needs Facebook's old "poke" feature.
higgins · 4h ago
Brilliant.

Question: the TOS references tender.love domain, why did you go with trytender.app for the landing page?

pclowes · 6h ago
But how are you going to monetize? Are you looking to raise? Moat seems low to me tbh... ;)

This is great. Props for making something fun.

jwr · 6h ago
Also, where are the AI features? What's your AI strategy? And how much tracking data do you generate and sell?

More seriously, thank you for creating this, it's refreshing and fun.

Fervicus · 5h ago
Add a button that generates more pics of his wife. Could monetize that too.
Retr0id · 6h ago
the premium version lets you swipe right on some other guy's wife
elpakal · 5h ago
that’s just Tinder
NewJazz · 38m ago
(with extra steps)
1024core · 1h ago
Monetization is easy. Threaten to show them somebody else's pictures: pay up or we'll show you photos of your sexy neighbor (could be AI-generated). And tell your partner.
Fervicus · 5h ago
Add pics of other women too. Charge the wife so she gets notified if he swipes right on anyone else.
risquer · 6h ago
i heard yc applications just opened today
davidw · 6h ago
Is there an AI angle? I think it's not going to get traction without adding some advanced AI features.
bigfatkitten · 5h ago
Do you strictly need AI, or can you still get across the line with some blockchain/web3?
RandomBacon · 1h ago
blockchain/web3 ?

That's so yesterday.

Oh if you wanna add crypto to the mix, Marc would like to talk to you, maybe we can work something out.
elpakal · 5h ago
depends on if you have anyone from stanford on your team
ozim · 6h ago
I guess you can make AI agent swipe for you. But before I go into details we need to sign NDA.
consumer451 · 6h ago
AI-first, or death.

edit: /s in case your inference engine is not capable of understanding the context.

Definitely needs microtransactions, or loot boxes

Very cute. Congrats on the launch.

Feature request. Ex-wife pics added to the deck and for those you have to swipe left.
rgbaww · 6h ago
Wife gets an alert if you accidently swipe right on ex-wife. Modernized Minesweeper.

Throw in a timer too, which will be reported as stats to wife :-D

Great idea but cue Tinder trademark lawyers in 3… 2… 1…
wyldfire · 5h ago
That would be no problem for OP I'd be happy to write them back. It's not infringing if you're not doing any business.
excalibur · 1h ago
Tell that to Nintendo
suyash · 6h ago
and not to forget the patent lawyer for "swiping gesture" patent claim that will hit
risquer · 6h ago
sorry... i made an app like "the swiping app"...
rightbyte · 6h ago
Nice. You need to add coop support with P2P chat and so she can swipe right on you for a match.
risquer · 6h ago
I’ll message jack dorsey to see if he wants to collab
rightbyte · 6h ago
If he turns you down you'd might want to consider hotseat coop instead.
ozim · 6h ago
Meh only to be bought by Elon?
giantg2 · 2h ago
For some, this might be a psychological torture device.
adastra22 · 6h ago
I'm sure she's a fine lady, but I don't need to swipe right on pictures of your wife.
swyx · 5h ago
i also choose this guy's wife to swipe

This is a great idea for toddlers and family photo albums
stemlord · 6h ago
There is no such on-screen experience that is good for toddlers, imo
CGamesPlay · 6h ago
I think it was ((toddlers and family) photo albums), not (toddlers and (family photo albums)).
rurban · 27m ago
This is the fancy version of no downvote button. Or there could be a good news website with no bad news. Sceptical
squokko · 39m ago
Does this use Apple's face-recognition tech to automatically populate pictures of your spouse, or do you have to add them manually? I was under the impression that third-party apps couldn't access the People albums in PhotoKit.
ibejoeb · 5h ago
What did you do wrong?

Serious questions:

    - What's the mobile tech? Is the android version just help up in the store or are you building two native apps?

    - What server side?
risquer · 5h ago
Hahaha

SwiftUI and havent made a start on android - it would be compose

No server, everything is on device except for firebase analytics

Larrikin · 2h ago
I assume this was a project for getting experience with SwiftUI, but it was a missed opportunity to get experience with KMP and being able to release Android and iOS at the same time.
dudeinjapan · 6h ago
I dunno I would feel awkward swiping pics of your wife all day, especially if my gf caught me doing it.
wkat4242 · 5h ago
What if his girlfriend caught him swiping right on his wife? Mayhem

You sir, have delivered upon me an entire "ha ha" that I could not hold in. Thanks.

How about turning it into a game by flashing random photos non-wife where a right swipe penalises you?
thimabi · 5h ago
There are other comments joking about how this app will never secure funding unless it implements an AI feature… well, problem solved! Just have the app periodically flash AI-generated photos of women similar to the wife.

fotta · 4h ago
Hmm I granted access to my photos then selected an album but it says "No photos found" after. It also says "PhotoManager has 0 photos" and "DisplayedPhotos has 0 photos". I chose a shared album, if it matters.

edit: okay yeah it doesn’t work with a shared album

Pivot.

Develop a version that's just pictures of yourself for narcissist.

Use AI to make you look thinner and more in shape.

Seems like perfect scope for vibe coding. Was that done?
risquer · 6h ago
some ai coding tools were used but that's just the development process nowadays
bogzz · 6h ago
why? just why even ask that? i don't quite get the ubiquity of the LLM hype here, and at this point it's starting to feel artificial
antonvs · 6h ago
People are understandably fascinated by it, and trying to learn to figure out what’s being created by AI and what’s not. The commenter is right about this example, you could certainly vibe code an app like this.

Can i upload my own pictures and share the girls on Tinder my own version of it, where they only see me?

Hey, have you heard about this new dating app thats way better than Tinder?

throw8449485 · 2h ago
Strange idea about marriage and partnership.

If you are not allowed to express your opinion, and not allowed to say no, you are in coercive and abusive relationship!

I was raped like that for several years! My ex was morbidly obese, and had no basic hygiene! I was not allowed to complain, or to say no!
