Congratulations on making this! It seems like a really great idea. I do want to say though it took me a very long time to figure out what exactly it was– in fact, until I watched the video of co-founders explaining it I had no clue that there was video at all. As I understand it now there is live video-chat (sans-audio) with random people/potential matches, and from there each person likes/dislikes. There is no way I would know this from the homepage, and thus had no interest in downloading the app from it. Actually, from the tag-line "no photos, no bios, no names until you match" I assumed perhaps it was a kind of matchmaking service where you provide the matches– I didn't even think of live-video. Anyway, I only wrote this up because I think what you guys made seems really great and hope my feedback can help you in presenting it to other people who have no clue about flutter. Tldr; My advice: Drop/lower vague businessy language "We're changing the face of online dating. Making it more real. More genuine. More fun." and replace with something to the effect of "Live video feed with someone else on the app for 15 seconds. You can only start chatting once you've both 'liked' each-other."

@mazlix great feedback. We've updated our website to say "Flutter lets you look into the eyes of another person for 15 seconds to see if there’s chemistry." Way better than the vague marketing language I had before.

The AMA Cameo Party was so fun! Thanks to everyone who showed up and especially to those brave enough to cameo. We've been fans of Meerkat from the beginning, so it's really cool to be on Product Hunt on the same day as Meerkat Cameos. The idea for Flutter actually came out of Ashley and I talking about how much we loved Meerkat and wishing there was something like it but more interactive.
