My name is Sam. I’m one of the co-founders of Left Field, a new no-swipe dating app designed to help people meet in real life. You can read about us in Business Insider: https://www.businessinsider.com/new-dating-app-left-field-wa...

We're seeking a visionary designer to refine our interface and help us create an app that best matches our use case, while maintaining an innovative and cool aesthetic.

Salary: $2k/month.

We’re starting in denser areas (early access in NYC, a few colleges). When we expand, we’ll adjust neighborhood sizes to account for density :)

Tired of swiping? Me and my best friend Kate (recent Brown grads living in NYC) built Left Field to help people meet more effortlessly. We do the looking for you: when you cross paths with someone especially compatible, we’ll send you a push notification nudging you to check out their profile. You also get a daily stack of people from your current neighborhood. Curious what HN thinks about building dating apps around proximity and context vs. infinite swiping.

Kinda, but we do it better. Happn is swipe-based (antithetical to the point of geolocation IMO) and is overly specific with location information (not safe for women).

We don't have swiping aka we do the work of looking for you. If someone cute is nearby, we send a push nudging you to check out their profile. AND we only share location on a neighborhood level (kinda like Raya), which is a better, safer experience.
