Taffy is a dating/friending application that connects users to people around them - with one twist: Profile pics are blurry until you start a conversation. Our chat-first app let's you thumb through posts with blurry profile pics and catchy headlines. Pics are slow-revealed through active chat. The more you say, the more you see.

Hey everyone... and thank you, @chrismessina 🙌 After lots of hard work, we are thrilled to showcase Taffy here on Product Hunt! People are getting tired of swiping left and right for superficial reasons. So, we set out to create a unique and interesting “chat-first” solution that puts personality on an equal footing with physical appearances. Taffy lets you browse user-generated posts with blurry profile pics and catchy headlines. When a post catches your attention, you start a conversation (or select a Taffy suggested ice breaker). Blurry pics are slowly revealed through active chat. The more you say, the more you see! Nah, we're not the first to launch the blurry pic thing. After many months of bootstrapping, somebody beat us to the punch by merely weeks. 😅 But that's okay because we think Taffy is incredibly unique: (1) we're post (not profile) driven, so you can create as many posts as you like; (2) we're topical, so you can post for things like love, friendship, advice, whatever; and, (3) we let users search/browse by multiple topics and #hashtags. And Taffy's not just for dating; it’s for connecting with people however you want... and doing so in a highly authentic and playful format! We hope you love this product, and look forward to your thoughts and questions! ❤️

@chrismessina @johnschenk great product. Can't wait to try. Have a target for Android release?
