RedFlag - Dating app
by•
Dating apps have raised billions optimizing for compatibility.
They're still losing.
Match rates are down. Ghosting is up. Users churn after 3 months because nothing sticks. The apps keep adding AI, better algorithms, more filters - trying to eliminate the friction.
But the friction isn't the problem.
The problem is that nobody wants a perfectly optimized stranger. They want someone real. Someone messy. Someone whose chaos matches their own.
I built RedFlag around that insight.

Love the thesis here, matching chaos instead of curating perfection is a genuinely fresh take. One thing I'd want as a user is a "chaos meter" you can set on your profile, like a slider that shows how much of a hot mess you actually are, so you get matched with people at your same level of unhinged instead of having to guess.
