Curious what others think: Does the swipe mechanic actually help or hurt modern dating?

We built Staegd with a controversial belief: swiping is the enemy of connection.

Here's the problem: In 0.3 seconds, you decide someone's romantic potential based on their best-angled selfie. That's not dating that's a slot machine.

So we asked: What if dating apps worked more like theater auditions?

In auditions, you don't just submit a headshot. You perform. You show your range, your humor, your vulnerability. The casting director sees the REAL you.

That's Staegd. You don't swipe you audition.
