Hi Product Hunt, • SKWSH shows you candidates based on your preferences. Go through each one and if you like what you see press the orange heart! • Once you have a mutual match, you have 30 minutes to chat with them and see if you want to meet in person. This is a buffer so you won’t get tons of date invitations from matches you haven’t chatted with yet! No one wants unsolicited dates. Don’t worry you can still keep chatting for free with your match after the 30 minutes are up. • After the 30 minutes, the Meet Up function will light up letting you send and receive date invitations from that match! SKWSH helps you set up your date from inside the app. To send a date invitation, choose from SKWSH’s curated categories (like cafe or nightlife) and set the day and time - our calendar will let you set the date 96 hours within matching to guarantee that you will meet in person shortly after matching! • SKWSH also has a special “Set Availability” function where you can choose your availability for dates that week making it easier for you and your match to decide a time and date. No more back and forth trying to decide a time! • It’s Date Night! On the day of your date, SKWSH will notify your trusted contacts with your date details for extra safety. You will also be able to see how far away your date is from your date spot guaranteeing you won’t get stood up. So all you have to do is show up and enjoy yourself. • Enjoy your SKWSH date! SKWSH is free to download and use on both iOS and Android.

Launching soon!
@bdarenas how does this work during social distancing and shelter in place?

@chrismessina thanks for your feedback! We are working rapidly to launch a video calling feature on SKWSH. We understand the world is in a vulnerable place right now and we are in no way telling people to go out and meet if it is unsafe to do so where they are currently. We also understand that many places are opening up and people might want to go outside again so all we can do is urge our users use common sense and follow the law/guidelines of their city/town. Thanks and stay safe!

@bdarenas @chrismessina Adding to Brenda's comment, we are also projecting to areas with lighter restrictions in the near future; for example London (Our HQ) will be having lighter restrictions in July with the opening of the Pubs and restaurants.

"...30 minutes to chat with them and see if you want to meet in person." Isn't the point of matching that you want to meet in person? Why chat at all?
Brenda Arenas
@designmonkey Thanks for your feedback! Yes the point is to meet in person, however, some people might not feel they have banter with their match or for whatever reason not want to meet IRL. The 30 min serves as a buffer to chat first before deciding, this also serves as a buffer so people are not bombarded with date proposals without vetting. I hope that explains your question.
Design Monkey
@bdarenas Why are they getting "bombarded with date proposals"? Wouldn't that be gated by them having to match in the first place? I like your concept, but the idea of banter on app chat is exhausting.
Paul Aikhomu
@bdarenas @designmonkey I see your point but some people might need to at least get some basic information about the person they will like to meet for a date, which is why we created the 30 mins buffer to allow users to establish back and forth communication before the meet up button goes live. 30 mins isn't a long wait to get acquainted?

I liked that I could set dates up with people right away. I think I lose interest in people when there is too much texting so this app is perfect for me
