Build real connection before the reveal
Yegdoo keeps photos hidden at first so people connect through conversation.
The Problem
Dating apps are optimized for quick judgments based on photos. That pressure discourages meaningful conversation and can feel unsafe or shallow. Users who want deeper connection often get buried by swipe mechanics. There is no mainstream space that rewards getting to know someone before appearance.
The Solution
Yegdoo lets people chat without photos and reveal them only when there is mutual interest so they can build trust before attraction.
Target Audience
Singles who value personality and intellect over swipe-first dating experiences
Market Opportunity
Users are increasingly frustrated with swipe fatigue and superficial matches. Privacy-first social products are gaining momentum as trust becomes a differentiator. A conversation-first dating model can attract users seeking more serious connections.
Key Features

Interest-Based Discovery

Engineering Reflection
If starting over, I’d design anti-harassment tooling earlier to protect vulnerable users. I’d also build a clearer moderation queue so trust and safety can scale with growth.
Looking For
Open to beta users, advisors in trust and safety, and early-stage consumer angels
