Kinda, but we do it better. Happn is swipe-based (antithetical to the point of geolocation IMO) and is overly specific with location information (not safe for women).

We don't have swiping aka we do the work of looking for you. If someone cute is nearby, we send a push nudging you to check out their profile. AND we only share location on a neighborhood level (kinda like Raya), which is a better, safer experience.

> If someone cute is nearby

I'm intrigued by how "cute" is defined here :) does the app automatically quantify cuteness based on the user's stated preferences?
