Hey everyone, I'm Jerry, the creator of Selfie Gate. I met my wife by talking to her on the street. Some of the most meaningful relationships in my life started because I stepped outside my comfort zone and talked to a stranger. At the same time, I kept hearing friends complain about dating app fatigue, doomscrolling, and spending hours on TikTok without really intending to. Many wanted more real-world connection but struggled to take that first step. With Selfie Gate, you choose the apps you want to limit and earn time back through real-world selfie challenges. The goal isn't to eliminate technology or shame people for using social media. It's to create a small moment of friction that nudges you back into the real world. While testing the app, I ended up having conversations with strangers, hearing unexpected life stories, and making connections I never would have had otherwise. I'd love to hear your feedback, questions, and ideas for where this could go next. Thanks for checking it out!
