Can’t believe we’re this close to 100k! If we can get to 1000 founding members by the 17 June we’ll have enough funds to really push toward launch and bring in the subscribers that will make Meetmarket sustainable. fund.meetmarket.io

Yipeee my proposal to talk about Meetmarket at this big decentralized web conference DWeb Camp was just accepted!

I went to a queer party in Berlin and spent the whole time chatting w people feral about Meetmarket. Really felt the community’s excitement. We’re 1/2 through the campaign and at €89K! €120K we can really do it. If you’re waiting for an alternative to the big gay apps—this is it fund.meetmarket.io

We’re one week into the campaign and 506 founding members from 36 countries have joined, raising €70,362 to bring the vision of a community-powered gay app to life. There’s still 22 days left. fund.meetmarket.io

Would someone become the 472nd founding member so we can close out the first week at 65k? 🥹🙏🌈⛓️‍💥🥩 fund.meetmarket.io

Meetmarket in Wired! www.wired.com/story/these-...

You showed me how hungry you are for an alternative gay app. But will you help it become real? Today, I’m launching a funding campaign to take Meetmarket from prototype to full product and hire the team to make it happen. Tell your friends and exs fund.meetmarket.io

Meetmarket.io im setting it up legally with a golden share so it can never be sold against its mission

Guess it’s time to sell my Greco Roman Muay Thai shorts and cut off tank I bought from them.

FYI no acquisition ever stays founder-led or independently operated in letter or in spirit

It’s so insane Sniffies is selling out to match group this is everything Im trying to stop with meetmarket. The match CEO was on Palantir’s board from 22-24! That’s ICE’s surveillance technology and fully automated deportations! How is this cruising community???

sniffies has made the worst decision ever to take investment from match group a dating app monopoly that pushes aggressive monetisation on tinder, hinge and ok Cupid through gamified design a cheap dopamine rewards that keep users hooked to apps and not actually matching

Try the new random chat feature on meetmarket really love this one 🥩🔀

Distance now in MILES for the godless sodomites with US device settings. You better be happy Americans this went against everything I stand for. meetmarket.io

@donjackoghue.bsky.social if you ever need localization hmu/pls do not hardcode your strings

Updated online status on meetmarket so you now know if someone is currently looking at the app. Shows as a cute green square next to your username and label in the chat list. Everyone else gets a last seen status like telegram.

This all resolved now: - stripping photos metadata via canvas - require signature on profile and email status reads (they’re for grid discovery so soft enforced today hard tomorrow) - removed mention confusing encryption algorithms - added snyk & merged sql injection fix - added email to about

yes sir 🫡

MeetMarket, the new decentralized privacy-respecting alternative to Grindr from @donjackoghue.bsky.social is a great example of vibecoded software serving new demographics meetmarket.io

This king made a better sniffies
