Kudos for releasing the app! IMHO, Unless you're married, don't put your relationship status on FB. Set it as hidden, or say nothing. When things change, and in life they do... the people from whom you don't want to hear are the first to notice and / or comment on it.

Is marriage more stable than other forms of relationship?

One little suggestion: If two people select themselves, why wait until they breakup?

If you mean that the site should say "X is monitoring you", that would be a big privacy issue since one could simply select all friends and see who is interested in oneselves.

Sounds like a feature to be promoted, then.

It's cool to support gay people and all, but if I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in.

Worst HN comment ever.

very badly phrased, but a filter by gender option would probably be a good feature.

Statistically, yes. Not, I suspect, because marriage suddenly confers stability and harmony onto relationships where none was previously, but because of a mix of people having to pay a large deposit on the relationship and of non-marriage relationships getting lumped in with pre-hypothetical-marriage relationships.

A few days ago, my fiancee and her mom were talking about setting up a nice guy with my fiancee's sister. Unfortunately, said guy is in a relationship. My mother-in-law to be suggested it would be nice to know when the relationship was over (jokingly). I blurted out that I could make something that could do that in a couple of hours. By then, I knew I had to do it. The application was built on Google Appengine, Djang…

I will have to add an API to my site http://makeyourgirlfriendhappy.com so people can track for breakups as well. Great idea though, definitely relationship 2.0

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You managed to turn a simple feature request into subtle anti-gay propaganda, whether you meant it or not.

I see. I think people are being too sensitive.

Your comment isn't offensive to me, but I it looks like it is because of the disclaimer, which you don't need.

If you turned:

"It's cool to support gay people and all, but if I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in."

into:

"If I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in."

I don't think people would misunderstand it.

I read the title completely wrong. I recently had an idea for facebook that breakup notifications. So for instance when its your birthday or someone decides to upload a photo album and tag you in 10 pictures it is sort of annoying to receive email/phone notifications one after an other, this app would simply allow you to set up the ability to put a delay on when you receive them and it pools them together. So if you get one notification it would wait x minutes and then it pools all the notifications you get until no more notifications arrive within x minutes. Then you just get one pretty notification with all the annoying notifications you would have received one after another.

Only every 24 hours?!? But when the window is open, you RUN! Did Ted Mosby teach us nothing?

+1 for HIMYM reference, I thought the same :)

24hrs is not 'be the first to know', probably all her/his friends will know that before. When I changed status I had a dozen comments in SECONDS.
