how does the skill compatibility matching actually work behind the scenes, is it just based on tags people pick or something deeper?
@bedirhan19697ย Great question! Right now it's tag-based โ skills, role, and what people are looking for. But I'm working on making it smarter by factoring in project stage, industry fit, and collaboration preferences. The goal is to move beyond keyword matching to actual founder-fit. Would love to hear your thoughts on what would make matching better for you! ๐
How does the skill compatibility matching actually work behind the scenes? Like, does it just look at tags people fill in or is there something smarter going on?
@mer1096673ย Great question! Right now, it's primarily tag-based โ skills, role, and what people are looking for. I'm working on making it smarter by factoring in project stage, industry, and compatibility signals. The goal is to move beyond keyword matching to actual founder-fit. Open to suggestions if you have ideas! ๐
swiping through co-founder profiles feels weirdly natural, and the skill compatibility filter actually saved me from a few bad matches. the real-time chat is a nice touch for quickly gauging chemistry before committing to a long call.
@n_yalc26947ย Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback! ๐
The swipe interaction was designed to feel natural โ finding a co-founder shouldn't feel like a job application. And yes, the skill filter is still tag-based for now, but I'm working on making it smarter by factoring in project stage, industry, and chemistry signals.
The chat feature was intentional too โ a quick convo tells you way more than a formal call ever could. ๐
Anything you'd want to see added? Always open to suggestions! ๐
Finally tried FounderQuest last night and the project-based matching actually made it feel different from generic dating apps, since each card showed what the other person was already building. The real-time chat worked smoothly too.
@sedat1233717ย Super glad you gave it a shot and it stood out to you! ๐
Showing what someone's actually building makes the match feel purposeful, not just superficial. And glad to hear the chat worked well โ Firestore listeners have been holding up nicely!
If you have any thoughts on what could make it even better, I'm all ears. ๐
The project-based matching is genuinely clever, way more useful than just slapping on filters for industry or years of experience. Feels like you actually thought about how early-stage teams form.
@mesut31176ย Really appreciate that โ thank you! ๐
That's exactly what I was aiming for. Early-stage teams form around shared vision and excitement, not just years of experience or industry tags. FounderQuest is built to connect people around the projects they actually want to build, not just their resumes.
Still early days, but comments like this keep me building. Would love to hear what you'd want to see next! ๐
The project-based matching actually feels more useful than I expected. Usually these swipe apps feel gimmicky, but pairing people around a specific idea makes the matches way more relevant.
@edanurgjouย Really appreciate this โ thank you! ๐
I had the same concern when building it โ swipe apps can feel gimmicky. But pairing people around a specific project makes it more purposeful. The match only matters if there's actually something to build together.
Still refining the matching logic, but feedback like this keeps me motivated. Let me know what you'd want to see next! ๐
