DatingZen - DatingZen gives you calm, intentional dating

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Manjunath, founder of DatingZen.

Like millions of people, I became exhausted by the current state of dating apps. They are incentivized by engagement algorithms that profit when you stay single and keep swiping endlessly. The result is dating fatigue, superficial judgment, and ghosting.

I wanted to build an intentional alternative that treats attention as a scarce, valuable resource.

On DatingZen:

1. You can never have more than 3 active chats at once.

2. The 24-hour Spark Clock encourages prompt, thoughtful conversation.

3. Clean Exit buttons allow either person to gracefully end a chat with zero awkwardness.

4. We recommend curated offline date spots (Zen Events) so you spend less time texting and more time meeting in the real world.

The web app is live today worldwide at https://datingzen.online.

I’d love your honest feedback, thoughts on the 3-match limit, and ideas for features you wish existed in modern dating! Thank you for checking us out! 🌸
