This made me realise that I want Tinder but for arbitrary content and able to be shared via links - photos, restaurants, date and times, or whatever. Create a Google Drive folder for your trip photos, sync it with OAuth, send a link to your group chat, and share the ones that everyone liked.

How about Tinder that shows content instead of pictures of your date, and then sets up dates with people who like similar content.

Then people would form meaningful relationships and have no reason to keep returning to your app after the first few minutes of engagement. That is not going to keep the VCs happy.

Or you should just leave a disfunctional relationship

Once you have a wife, there is no leaving the disfunction. If you try, an even more dysfunctional partner (the government) will join in on the fun.

Then don't make it VC-funded: make it a charitable foundation or worker-owned cooperative or something.

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.

Swipe left brings a picture of you before you got married.

Ah yes, the same comment chain memes one can find at the top of every single goddamned thread on reddit. So much fun.

I've never seen somebody get downvoted so hard on HN I can barely read their text. Congrats.

Go into your profile settings, and enable "showdead". Very controversial comments get censored^Whidden so that's why you don't see them.

Mine's a measly -4 points for saying Reddit is terribly unfunny. I'll be fine.

All joking aside, if you were to make a charitable foundation or worker-owned co-op, how would you overcome the same challenge software itself has? — Letting the world know it exists.

Anyone can code up an application over a weekend. That isn't the problem. VC money is for use in letting everyone else know that you created it. Long, long gone is the age where you could throw something up on the App Store and see the masses flock to it. It takes serious resources to get the word out nowadays.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with building software just for yourself. Not everything has to be shouted on every rooftop. But this specific type of software doesn't work so well if you are the only one using it.

2013 to learn some android I wrote a program which allows my wife to track every call, every sms, payments, and later whatsapp notifications, number of steps, vitals, current location, location history and current vehicle.

It is a hugely unsecure and foolish thing to do, but hilarious when she shows the report pages to her friends.

I built a small throwaway project that's kinda like that. https://flipr.social/

I should add the links for sharing as a feature update.
