Hi all, I'm the Founder of SneakPeek and am excited to share it with the PH community. The reason I built this was because lets face it: photos and profiles can be deceiving. SneakPeek is a live video dating service that allows you to see and talk to your matches in real time. No fancy angles, duck-faces, or misleading personal marketing. What you see is w… See more

@fahim305 Hey! My first thought was that lots of people may be too shy to have a facetime convo straight away and I think a lot of people take comfort in the fact that they have time on their hands with other dating apps. That being said, the non-personal, pitch-style format of online dating has gamified the situation so a lot of it can be engineered (by… See more

@sharefloapp @fahim305 Great question! The inspiration came from several places, including the rise of social trivia games, monitoring of beta test users, Arthur Aron's 36 questions study, personal experiences, and user feedback.

@fahim305 this is great!! I was able to also hear an amazing talk by the founder of http://www.grindr.com which is a gay dating app, and the interesting thing about men is that they don't want to go through all the questions. They just want to know where there are other people of similar interest in the area..the founder spoke at #launchscale 2015. But… See more
