Updates

What we're building and improving. Pretty Good Dating is actively developed. Here's what changed recently.

Favorites, hide, and photo grid browse

Clearer labels for starring and hiding profiles, plus a photo-only grid view when you want to scan faces fast.

  • Save is now Favorite — star a profile and open your favorites list from the chip at the top. Favoriting does not remove someone from browse; use Hide when you want them gone.
  • Hide replaces “Not interested” — eye-slash icon matches the hidden chip, with a toast that links to your hidden list.
  • List / Grid toggle beside “profiles found”: grid shows photos only; click any tile for the full profile.
  • In grid view, Favorite sits top-left and Hide top-right on each photo.

Want kids, Hinge & Tinder alternatives, and more

New welcome pages and articles for people who want a real partner, not another swipe app.

  • Want kids welcome page at prettygooddating.com/want-kids. Filter to "Wants Kids: Yes" with one click. Family intent highlighted on every profile.
  • New blog post: Dating when you want kids (and tired of "maybe").
  • Heybaby shut down in 2024. We added a page explaining what we're building instead for people who miss it.
  • Hinge & Tinder alternative page. Browse profiles in a list, no swipe stack, honest stats.
  • Main site footer now links to Want kids? and Hinge & Tinder alternative.

Browse counts, saved profiles & not interested

Saved and hidden lists should finally match the numbers you see — and hiding someone actually sticks.

  • Saved profile count now matches what appears when you open your saved list (including for admins browsing both genders).
  • Soft-deleted or paused profiles drop out of saved and hidden counts automatically.
  • The ✕ “Not interested” button is saved to your account (not just this browser session) and removes the star if you had saved them.
  • Saved and hidden views ignore your browse filters so you can always find people you marked — with a note on screen when filters are off.
  • Distance filter “profiles found” now matches the list you see on screen.

Browse filters & signup improvements

Clearer browsing, a smoother signup path, and verification links that actually give you time to click them.

  • After onboarding, you can tell us how you found Pretty Good Dating (optional — helps us grow thoughtfully).
  • Email verification links now stay valid for 7 days instead of about an hour.
  • If a verification link has expired, you get a clear page explaining how to request a fresh one.
  • Browse filters improved: distance from you, when someone joined, and minimum height.
  • Filter panel redesigned with radio buttons and visible “active filter” chips.
