1st workshop on @CoupleUpDating
👍 sold out of tickets
👎 Unexpected bugs
Fixing 'em before our next dating event: Sunday 8pm!
I'm happy app worked, but frustrated by bugs. I know, fixing bugs is part of building an app. I'm just a perfectionist! 😇

Hey Greg!
CoupleUp looks cool!
I echo the warmth aspect (deep chords). A happy soundtrack at a calming tempo, with some playful notes overlaid on the top!
It should make signups feel at ease and generally trusting of the dating process.
Another video update as I build @CoupleUpDating. Last week was challenging, feeling a bit depressed. But, there are good things, so I want to share those, too:

Finally made an account for @coupleUpDating, and also updated homepage: CoupleUpNow.com Does it explain the idea well?
If you're single in SF/Bay Area, straight, in your 30s, with an iPhone, apply to the beta: coupleupnow.com
First progress update: facebook.com/superman.greg/… Fixed a showstopper bug so I can soft launch on Sunday 6/6 8pm! #onlineDating #dating #videoDating
I struggle with depression, so I don't want to shy away from that -- not just pretend everything's amazing.
Counselor frequently reminds me to remember the positives, though, so this'll be both.
👍 Hosted workshop with dating therapist. She taught how to make video dating better
👍 Had 3 people essentially say "CoupleUp sounds amazing. I want to see it happen. How can I help?" This is amazing bc I frequently feel *very* alone. It's a long-time thought pattern. I'm the outsider; always different. Feels good hearing people want to support. #buildInPublic
👍 From 1st speed dating event: 1 match.
👍 From workshop: 2 matches!
Mind you, is that as good as I'd like? No! But, I'm looking on the bright side, so that's something else to celebrate.
👍 That's a thing that I'm practicing. Celebrating wins, even small ones. #buildInPublic
Making supportive singles community for us.
Do you prefer Slack, Discord, or Facebook❓
Easier to integrate into existing habits; move to the app later. I think it'll be faster to build elsewhere, too. (Open to being convinced otherwise.) #buildInPublic #datingapp #onlinedating
