My friend fixed my dating profile in 20 minutes. Spent 6 months turning her advice into an app
Bit of context first, I had just broken up and decided to try dating apps again. Zero likes, zero replies and zero idea what I was doing wrong.
Called my friend, Ami, who gave me tips on what works and what doesn’t. She showed me how different it is for girls. Her profile had 50+ likes without a single face pic. She revamped my profile – swapped photos, wrote prompts that show my personality. She showed me what kind of replies got her attention. And it did work, I started getting matches, like real matches.
And I figured, there are a lot of people who don’t get dating apps. I spent the next few months talking to people, collecting data from online communities and built a dating assistant that would do what Ami did for me.
WingX is your personal dating coach -
1. Point it to your dating profile, it will show you what to fix, which photos to use
2. Got a match and don’t know what to say, it writes a message that actually gets replies
3. a coach for the messier stuff like ghosting, first date jitters, vibes
There are similar apps on this segment – but I built it to be more genuine and less cheesy pick-up lines. For people like me, who don’t get dating apps - it guides them on what works and what doesn’t, dating 101s and build a profile that shows your best side
For the nerds — Hosted it on GCP, Vertex AI for agents, Firebase for authentication/database

First time app builder so would love any tips on how to market this. Really curious on how other developers went about finding their users
