WhosDown

Good UI! Good luck for the launch

Neat idea! UX is a little tedious (why is each profile option such as birthday/gender its own page, and why do I have to select 3 categories instead of 1 or 2?). Interested to see how you solve the underlying chicken&egg problem though, because although I immediately downloaded the app, it's not encouraging to find nothing nearby. Maybe an incentive for someone to create a meetup would help? I imagine there are quite a few people on the app, but most people end up seeing that there is nothing already organized nearby and leave immediately, instead of creating a meetup that shows a presence. Perhaps you could show the number of users in a given area (literally just a number, not identifying them) so that as a user I can see if there actually is enough people in my region to make it worth organizing something. Really cool idea all things considered, and lots of room for interesting growth hacking!

This is a great idea, congrats on the launch! :)

👋 Hi Hunters, my name is Yun. I am very excited to share my story today at Product Hunt. While there are tons of dating apps out there, I could not find an app or service that I could use to make friends. I thought, why do all online meetings have to be so focused on dating? You might be committed to someone or want some break from non-stopping effort in the dating game. There gotta be something other than a dating app to make friends. 💡 That is how I started WhosDown. WhosDown is a mobile app where you can genuinely make friends — connecting with someone that shares a “common interest”. A common interest can be any activity like sports, gaming, shopping, or having coffee, you name it. You can search for a like-minded friend who’s down for the activity, whether right now or later in the future. Here are some use cases. 1. Sports 🏀
 It’s Saturday afternoon, you and your friends are going to play basketball but you are short of people to play full court. You can use WhosDown to see if someone is down to join. 2. Workout buddy 🏋️‍♀️
You are going to a gym. You’d like to have someone who can spot you while lifting. It’s too cumbersome to arrange a set time with your friends. You can use WhosDown to see if someone’s like-minded at this moment. 3. New in town 🚚
 You are new in town and it is a Friday night. You wanna go out and explore town but don’t know where to start. On WhosDown, you can search for someone who can show you around and grab a beer. Possibility is endless. WhosDown is for people who are: ∙Bored and wanting to do something right now ∙New to town ∙Wanting to make friends ∙Got sick of dating apps that only allow meeting someone to date If this sounds cool, please check out our iOS app here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wh.... Any kind of feedback is welcome. Thank you so much! ❤️

upvote for the good idea and nice design! Would have loved to try on android :) Take a look on couchsurfing hangouts and try to avoid the mistakes they make ;)

You have nice idea here, but I think you need to focus on making your websites UI better

Congrats on the launch! Products like this always interest me. How are you planning to tackle the chicken & egg problem with this in terms of having users ready and willing to participate in meetups/activities so that new users don't arrive to an immediate ghost town?
