TLDR: An app for listing things you hate (in addition to the ones you love) alongside the things you love.<br><br>The core idea of this app is that when you log in the first few times you'll see a few dozen people from social media peers list and a button for every person that says both "LoveLoveLoveLove" next to "HateHateHateHateHate". Those buttons do nothing at first.<br><br>You have to build up points to use them by recommending your friends, and once you get a few points you can show your love for your friends you like and your hate for the friends you don't like, but you can't just show love/hate for anyone you want, only for those who are in your friend's list, and you can't go past 3 love/hates for any person.<br><br>For each person you have 2 points of love<br>and 1 point of hate<br>with a max of 2 points of love and 1 point of hate per user. (so 4 loves and 2 hates if you have both love and hate from two users)<br><br>Using those points is how you get visibility for your profile and get likes and points from other users. It is still an app that people will use to list things they love (but also hate), and you can't even see what other people love (or hate) if you don't first put 2 loves and a hate on another user, and if a user doesn't have any loves/hates on them they are weight-less in terms of<br>recommendations.<br><br>The main page shows random "recommended" content from all directions.<br>A video game you will love recommended by a great friend of a friend of a friend of a friend, who also loves a band your friend likes.<br>A book your mom likes that also a friend of a friend likes, and you will love!<br>A political candidate who a great friend of a friend likes, but also a random guy who you hate, hates.<br><br>It can be very confusing at first, and you really have to adapt yourself to how the app is structured. At the end of the day, its just an app for seeing things your friends know you will love, but in the ugliest way possible.<br><br>In the beginning, the UX is very confusing and ugly to simulate the complexity of human relationships, but once you put your friends and yourself in the right boxes, it gets pretty, you have a clean feed of beautiful content you will truly love, and you can even see what your friends and family likes and loves.<br><br>It's not a productive app, but it's a weird one.<br>There is no login bypass, no guest mode.<br>You have to log in with a social media account so the app can get your list of friends and build a network.<br><br>The app doesn't truly recommend anything, it just uses the few points of data it has to generate lists of recommendations. It's a very simple app.<br><br>Please DO NOT make this app.<br>I don't want to live in a world like this.
