I love the ominous Lynchian aesthetic. Literally renovating a home movie theater room to make it look like the lodge from twin peaks.
Also because I want to consume moving images more intentionally, only in the theater, watching full artistic visions versus endless swipe distraction shots.
The artistic home theater (formerly my living room) is my rejection of the flat skeuomorphia of the phone. (Not sure if I used that word right, but I like it.)
Also, I met my partner on Tinder 9.5 years ago and we’ve been together ever since. This was albeit in the early days of Tinder. I think he was my 4th Tinder date and I’d set my geographic distance to 1km only and so had he.
"We wanted something you couldn't do on accident" is crazy to hear... Just signals how differently technology was designed, compared to now. The intentionality behind pressing down and sliding across, even if it's milliseconds of a difference from swiping, seems to make all the difference in the compulsion and gamification of being on your phone. Rip the slide to unlock and physical home button I miss them so much
