| Swipe apps | Heartstead |
|---|---|
| Fast swiping and shallow comparison. | Thoughtful browsing with filters, values, and profile context. |
| Photos drive first judgment. | Private photos can stay protected until access is approved. |
| Intent is often unclear. | Relationship intention is visible before contact. |
| Random likes and messages create pressure. | Introductions and photo access happen with consent. |
| Bots, fake profiles, and low accountability feel common. | Verification, reporting, moderation, and adult-only public browse. |
