Flutter

Flutter aimed to replicate the experience of a first real-life encounter through mobile technology. The platform enabled users to create and share brief, disappearing videos as a means of self-expression and attracting potential matches in their vicinity. Similar to Tinder, users could browse videos of nearby individuals, indicating their interest or disinterest before proceeding to the next profile. The unique aspect of Flutter was its matching mechanism: users had to be simultaneously active on the app and maintain eye contact via video for 15 seconds to establish a connection. Push notifications alerted users when individuals they had expressed interest in were online, facilitating this real-time interaction. Flutter believed in the power of video, drawing parallels to the success of platforms like YouTube, Snapchat, and Meerkat, emphasizing that a brief live video interaction could convey significantly more information than curated photos and biographies.
