About tinydate
tinydate
tinydate is a new type of dating app that includes the best parts of speed dating without the blind-date anxiety, the high price, or the complicated scheduling. You can think of it as an easy-to-use, affordable do-it-yourself speed dating.
With tinydate, you arrange your own dates ahead of time, with people whose profiles appeal to you. You pay only a tiny $2 no-flake fee for each date you actually have. That's it. No membership fees, no premium accounts or "A-list" fees, no event attendance fees, no endless swiping, no endless chats that never lead to an actual date.
tinydates are time-limited, so there's no need for awkward excuses to end a date. After the date, you choose whether you want to see your date again. Dating with tinydate also includes rules of behavior to make sure you don't feel pressured during the date, and you feel safe when the date is over. Separately from the choice of whether you want to see your date again, you rate the other person on how well they behaved during your date, so respectful daters get rewarded by accumulating good ratings.

About Venues, Events, and Dates
tinydate
tinydates can happen anywhere you can imagine. In a cafe, a bar, a bookstore, a music festival, a ski lodge, even at the airport while waiting for a delayed flight. But at first, to help people learn how tinydate works, tinydate currently supports venue-based dates only. These are dates that take place at venues (bars, cafes, etc.) that host dating events on certain nights.
Venues create posts in the app, which list days and times of dating events at the venue. The venue can do additional promotion of an event to its patrons, and can optionally reserve part of the venue for the event, but otherwise does not have to do anything special to "run" the event.
As with all tinydates, you arrange dates at venue events directly with other attendees. Here's how it works:
  • You use the tinydate app to see the upcoming venue-based dating events in your area.
  • You see a list of people who have indicated that they will be attending a certain event. If you are interested, you can indicate that you'll be attending the event also. This allows you to request 15-minute tinydates with others at the event, and for others to request tinydates with you. Unlike traditional speed dating events, dates are arranged by the attendees ahead of time, and only if there is mutual interest.
  • An event lasts two to three hours, and a tinydate lasts 15 minutes. So you can schedule multiple tinydates at the same event if you want.
  • When two people agree to a date, each person is charged a $2 no-flake fee. The purpose of the fee is to show that you are committed to being there. This lets daters know that the person they're meeting is sincere about showing up for the date, and is not a flake, a game-player, or a scammer. This is also the only way that tinydate makes money. There is no membership fee for the app, and no charge for attending an event, other than $2 for each date you actually have.
tinydate
tinydate is a new kind of dating app that is all about actually meeting for short first dates, and not at all about endless swiping and endless back-and-forth texting.
We talked to lots of daters of all ages, genders, and relationship types. They were excited about an app that focuses on time-limited, up-front meetings, letting you avoid scammers and time-wasters.
We're hard at work building the app. If you want to be notified of the app's release date, use the button below. We won't spam you or share your email address with others.

tinydate Dating Rules
tinydate
By requesting a date on tinydate, you agree to the following:
  • You will be at the venue on the specified date and at the specified time.
  • You will make every effort to find your date and to make it easy for your date to find you.
  • You will be polite during the date.
  • You WILL NOT PRESSURE your date to continue the date beyond the time limit, and you WILL NOT PRESSURE your date to meet up with you again, either later that night or on a different day/night. Even if you suggest these meet-ups politely they are AGAINST THE RULES. You must wait for your date to choose "Yes" in the app, indicating they want to see you again, before you can interact with them again.
  • With the exception of a brief "Good night, nice meeting you!" statement, you WILL NOT ATTEMPT to talk with your date for the remainder of the event or the remainder of the evening. The only exception is if both you and your date choose the "Yes" option (meaning you both want to see each other again) soon after your date, while the event is still in progress. In that case you are free to continue communicating -- heck, you can go crazy and go on a bowling date right after the event, for all we care.
Also:
  • When a date is accepted, either by someone accepting the initial proposed time or someone accepting an alternative proposed time, both people are charged a $2 no-flake fee. The purpose of this fee is for both people to show they are genuinely committed to showing up for the date. This prevents scammers and flakes from wasting your time. It's also the only way tinydate makes money.

Note: tinydates often happen back-to-back and transitions can be a bit chaotic. So it doesn't count as "late" if it takes you a minute to find each other in the venue. On the other hand, arriving at the venue five minutes after the start of a 15 minute date does count as late.

tinydate is about real-world meetings and is not a chat app. However, there are a few situations where it can help to send a message, such as:
  • Letting the other person know what your are wearing and where/how to find you in the venue.
  • Apologizing for having to cancel and explaining the reason.
It is considered impolite to add comments that just say, "Looking forward to our date" or, "It was nice meeting you," or trying to start a general conversation. After your date, if you both want to see each other again, you will get each other's contact information and you can chat as much as you want.

About search distance
When you search for date posts, tinydate always lists the found posts ordered from closest to farthest, relative to your device GPS or your chosen search city.
Specifying a search distance limits the search to a certain distance (radius) from the chosen search location.
That means it's not necessary to choose the shortest search distance in order to find the closest posts. Instead, you should set your search distance to the longest distance you'd be willing to travel to meet a date.
About tinydate Posts
Currently, only venues (bars, cafes, etc.) can make posts in tinydate. Coming soon, you will be able to make your own posts. When you make a post, you are saying that you are available for dates, either in general or at a certain time, either in a certain city/neighborhood or at a specific location, which can be a bar or cafe, or something more unusual like a music festival, a ski lodge, or anywhere else you can imagine.

Posts and location privacy
tinydate does not show your location to other users.
When you make a post, you are telling other people that you will be available for dates at a certain location during a certain time period. You can choose how specific you want to be about the location in your post. You could name a specific bar or cafe, or if you don't want to share the location publicly, you could name just the neighborhood, or just the city. When someone responds to your post to request a date with you, you can get more specific about the location and time. That way, only the person you're meeting for the date will know the specific location and the specific time you're meeting them there.
Similarly, when you respond to another person's post, only that person knows you responded, and the two of you can work out the location specifics.

That way, the exact location is known only to you and your date.

				About Your Ratings
			

			

				

					After a tinydate, both people rate each other on their
					dating behavior, which is separate from the question of
					whether they liked each other and want to see each
					other again. The behavior ratings are base on whether
					you:
					
    
						
  • Showed up on time (or were late/absent with a good excuse)
    • 
						
  • Were polite during the date
    • 
						
  • 
							Respected the date time limit and did not pressure the other
							person to extend the date or set up another date
						
    • 
						
  • Didn't make the other person feel unsafe when leaving the venue
    • 
						
  • Submitted your ratings promptly
    • 
					

					Even though not all dates will end with both people wanting to see each
					other again, we hope that both people will still get perfect ratings on
					their behavior. By building up good ratings, you show future dates
					that you're a respectful dater.

				Privacy Policy
			

			

				
Introduction


				
When you use the tinydate application ("the app", "we", "us", "our"),
				whether on the website tinydate.me
				or through an installed application, you accept and agree to the
				Terms of Service and to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the
				policies described in these two documents, you may not use the app.

				
				
Personal Information

				
				
When you use the app you provide us with certain personal information --
				that is, information by which you can be uniquely identified:
				

				
				
    
					
  • Our servers log your IP address, which
					contains information about your location.
    • 
					
  • When you create an account, you provide your email address.
					We use this to communicate with you.
    • 
					
  • When you create a profile in the app, you specify certain information
					that is not shared with other users of the app. This includes your name and
					birth date. You also specify various information that you want to share
					with other users of the app including, but not limited to, your city and
					state, your relationship preferences, and photos of yourself.
    • 
					
  • When you use the app to post your available for dates, respond to
					others' date posts, accept dates, chat with your date, and rate your
					date's behavior, we save the data from these interactions.
    • 
					
  • When you pay the "no-flake fee", you provide your name, address,
					credit card, and other information to our payment processing provider.
    • 
					
  • We can review your payment history by requesting a report from our
					payment processing provider. This includes dates and amounts of payments,
					but does not include your credit card information or address.
    • 
				

				
				
Who has access to this personal information?


				
    
					
  • Some of the information you share on the app is visible to all
					users, such as when you post your availability for a date.
    • 
					
  • Some of the information you share on the app is visible just
					to specific users. For instance, when you request a date, accept
					a date, or chat with your date, this information is visible to
					just you and your date, and the app administrator.
					
  • The app administrator has access to all information used in
					the app, for all users. However, the administrator only accesses
					information on a need-to-know basis. One reason for needing to
					know would be a dispute about services or payments.
    • 
				

				
				
How does the website minimize the risk of a data breach that exposes personal information?

				
				
    
					
  • The website is hosted on the DigitalOcean platform, which adheres to strict security practices.	
					
  • All messaging between the client (your computer) and server (our computers) is done using
					SSL/TLS.
    • 
					
  • Our payment provider is Strip. Stripe
					adheres to best practices for payment security, including GDPR standards.
    • 
					
  • We perform periodic reviews of these security measures to make sure
					they are working, and to consider if they need modification.
    • 
				

				
				
Cookies and local storage data

				
				
Cookies and local storage data are small pieces of data that an app saves on your
				computer/device, which can be used for various purposes, such as saving a
				session identifier or login information to make it easier for you to log in, or
				to make it easier for the app to track you from one visit to another.

				
				
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies and local storage, or to
				indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not allow cookies and
				local storage data, you may not be able to use some features of the app.

				
				
Requesting and controlling your data

				
				
To receive a copy of your data, send a request to admin@tinydate.me.

				
				
To request that some of your data be modified or corrected, send a request to
				admin@tinydate.me. We reserve the right to deny such modifications or
				corrections if we determine they are false.

				
				
To request that some or all of your data be deleted, send a request to
				admin@tinydate.me. Be aware that some data may be retained as allowed or
				required by law. We reserve the right to deny information requests that are
				unduly burdensome as allowed by law.

    • 
					
  • You may object to the use of your data where we rely upon consent as the
					legal basis for storing it, known as the “right to object”. Keep in mind
					that (a) the deletion of certain data may mean we can no longer provide you

    • 
					
  • We do not do profiling or automated decision-making. This means that by

    • 
					
  • We do not transfer your data to third parties, aside from the information

    • 
				

				
				

					Here is what's not yet done but needs to be done for
					people to use the app.
				

				
				
    
					
  • 
						Purchasing credits. Charging both people the $2 no-flake
						fee at the time a date is confirmed. This also includes
						giving people a credit back when someone cancels a date
						on them.
					
    • 
				

				
				

					Things that can wait until v2, meaning some time after
					people have used the app and given feedback.
				

				
				
    
					
  • 
						I imagine some mechanism might be needed to respond to
						bad ratings. Like if someone says you weren't on time,
						but you have a good excuse, should you be able to add a
						comment next to the rating to explain the circumstances.
						And there's also the possibility that someone gives you
						a bad rating out of spite even though you did nothing
						wrong. The current suggestion is to allow one text
						response to each rating by the ratee. Another idea is
						just to have a section of the profile for responses
						to ratings.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Reminders of upcoming dates.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						For the Dates tab, when you go to a date detail page,
						and possibly make changes, and then return to the
						Dates list, don't refresh the whole list. Only
						refresh the one date that might have changed.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Blocking people so they can't request a date with you
						or comment on any of your past or canceled dates.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Related to blocking: Reporting users for
						misbehavior (aside from the behavior
						ratings).
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Blocking venues. (?)
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Blocking a user should also mean that they
						don't see your posts in their search
						results. (Currently it only means that you
						don't see their posts in your search
						results.)
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Uncertain: In the three city specification screens
						(profile, post, and search), the ability to have the
						program guess the location when you press a button,
						using the geolocation API. The reason for the button
						press is so that the user doesn't get a "tinydate wants
						to access your current location" as a surprise.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Advanced search, meaning specifying additional
						search criteria, such as smoking and drinking
						habits, preferences about kids, etc.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Ongoing clean-up of the city list
						(for instance, Census uses the
						name "Boise City" for what
						is commonly known as "Boise"). Possibly
						adding neighborhood lists for medium-size
						cities.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Dark mode, or restyling the app so it's
						already a dark theme.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Turning the whole thing into an app,
						instead of just a website.
					
    • 
				

				
				

					Regarding testing: Please report every little thing you notice. Don't assume
					that I'm aware of a problem you see. If you see something, or have a suggestion,
					no matter how small, please let me know. All of the items marked "Done" above
					are good for testing. Here are some particular things that
					could use testing:
				

				
				
    
					
  • 
						Screen sizes. Consider the layout of each screen and how they work
						on your monitor or device. Are the fonts too small to read? Are the
						fonts unnecessarily large and wasteful of space.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Does the interface for uploading, cropping, and rearranging the
						order of your pictures work well?
					
    • 
					
  • 
						For testing purposes it's useful to be impatient and to try
						clicking buttons multiple times if you don't get an immediate
						reaction to something. As a simple example, when you enter
						your email address and click "Go", it might take a second
						before you see the screen telling you an email with a code
						has been sent, so it's tempting to click the Go button again.
						At first, this caused the program to send two emails with
						two different codes. That is fixed, and I tried to handle
						multi-clicking well throughout, but please let me know if
						you can break anything by clicking buttons quickly, either
						multiple times on the same button, or one button and then
						another.
					
    • 
				

				
				

					Design choices I could use feedback on:
				

				
				
    
					
  • 
						Note that the first picture in your list becomes your "icon"
						used throughout the program. Note that this first picture
						shows in a rounded frame to indicate this. Is this clear?
						Is it strange?
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Note that when you create a post, you don't pick the
						dates off a calendar, but just from a drop-down listing
						all the days for the next few weeks. It's not clear to
						me how far in advance people should be able to post for.
						In any case, please think about the interface for
						choosing both dates and times, and let me know if
						anything feels strange.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Throughout the program I try to make it clear what
						information is visible to what users. Let me know
						if this comes across as helpful, or as too
						paranoid and verbose.
					
    • 
					
  • 
						What do you think of the behavoir rating questions?
						Would you add, delete, modify?
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Whether the two people should be able to negotiate
						a date time that is outside the start/end time of
						the post?
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Whether there should be a user option for whether
						the ratings show just the averages, or also
						show how many dates the numbers are based on.
						(One person I talked to was concerned if others
						saw that he had been on 20 dates they'd think
						something must be wrong with him to still be
						searching.)
					
    • 
					
  • 
						Eventually this will be an app, but for now it's
						a web page. You'll notice that all of the
						navigation is done using the little black
						forward and back arrows, and not using the
						browser's back and forward buttons. If you do
						press the browser's back button, you'll find
						yourself back on the google search page (or
						wherever you were before going to tinydate.me),
						but you can get back to the app by using the
						browser forward button. i originally had it
						working where you could use the browser's
						back and forward buttons to move around
						within the app (in addition the app's own
						arrows), but there were some technical and
						design problems with this. So my hope is that
						people will quickly realize that the in-app
						arrows are the ones to use, and if they
						ever click the browser's back button they'll
						see what happens, click the forward buttons,
						and hopefully learn not to do that again.
