Hey, PH. I’m CEO of Super-Smash 👋 and I’d like to share my story with you. When I was an active Tinder user, I noticed that girls’ photos and their real looks were quite different. The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was when I went to another city to meet a girl from Tinder. That trip made me decide to only meet those who I’ve already seen in real life. Once, I met a girl in the city; I really liked her but I couldn’t find her anywhere ever since. One night, I was trying to come up with a solution to the problem and I realized one could use phone geolocation to find those they meet in real life. The first thing I did when I woke up was starting to search for competitors of geolocation dating apps and I found one instantly - happn. I wasn’t sad for too long, only until I installed happn’s app. It was not the visual concept I’d seen that night and, being an iOS developer myself, I knew I could do better. It took me a year to create a strong team, develop the product, and register the company. All those things are there for one reason, the goal of people finding each other. The technical solution is based on a smart geolocation filtering system. The system allows for quick and precise identification of the real-life encounters, as well as showing them in the app in the most informative way. The user experience is based around a map and their bumps on it, while in real time, a user can see on a map who, where, when and how many times they’ve bumped into. Or just watch the bump history in the list any time. Let us know what you think about Smack and whether you’ve had hard time finding someone in real life 👀

This looks like Happen. Same concept. How is it any different ?

@paul_ragots I admit that we have the same goal with Happn, but the realization of it is totally different. We focus on a map and everything that is connected with it.

@paul_ragots @mark_prutskiy As follow up to this, I'd like to ask what does smack do better than Happn? Why would you use this over a more well established app which has more users so by definition would work better for bumping in to people?

@paul_ragots @sam_ayres First, as I have written before, we are aimed to the users’ experience around the map and to the maximum detailed and comfortable reporting about all the users’ crossings on the map. I will try to list the main differences: - users can see all their crossings on the map in the life time; - we have a great boost system, where users can turn on a boost and be seen to everyone on a map in the radius of 35 miles; - we are aimed to the youth and active people, that comes out with the style and app’s functional; - a user can see a history of his/her crossings with a particular user in a comfortable style, time or place; - women rule and they get free significant bonuses, that are paid for guys; - we do not have pop-up ads and imposing a subscription.
