Binding the shell <-> local git clone automatically feels like the future. Great work.

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out the app and then to share it with your husband too, incredibly rewarding to hear for us as a team!

Sorry that iOS was unreliable Re: available keyboards, we've found this too and will be sure to let Apple know.

Any further feedback please leave here or reach out to us: hi [at] onin [dot] co, we'd love to hear it.

Thanks again!

In the ideal scenario yes but they don't have to be: you can use Onin as a modern, E2EE personal calendar on your own. We're seeing the most common pattern in the private beta for people to plan on existing chat services and then move the event into Onin once arranged, effectively replacing the legacy email invite system of current calendars. From there the Onin event becomes the destination for the continued planning/chatting/sharing photos etc.

That's not really the point though: we have to notify our users of any changes to our legal agreements regardless. We are using GitHub to make these changes as transparent as possible. Because of such legal notifications it would be very obvious if such tampering was going on based on the effective dates of the policies. Again, we're being this transparent because we want to do everything we can to protect our users security and privacy.

100% agree! We'll get there :)

Thank you! We totally agree, behaviour change is hard: no doubt our public beta feature set will appeal best to our core fans but the hooks will get more and more compelling to mainstream consumers as we develop the product.

It's not so much about moving all your conversations to Onin though: it's about using us as your personal and social calendar. We support showing/editing your existing calendar events in-app too so there's zero switching cost to trying us.

With this in mind, we've found this feature set to be very compelling with our non-technical friends and family who are on the private beta.

Sorry for the multiple edits :)

I'm afraid as you guessed it, iOS-only for launch on Jan 10th but we want to get Android and web as quickly as we find product market fit (PMF). This decision is so we can iterate and improve the product based on our users feedback as quickly as possible, the more platforms we support the slower can move. We suspect though we're going to hear this a lot more and PMF for a new calendar service might only be possible with apps on all your devices!

Sorry to hear that: is this on the Typeform? Feel free to email ryan [at] onin [dot] co and I can manually add you to the waitlist, thanks

Exactly for the commit history: we want to make our legal agreements, and any changes made to them, as transparent as possible, we thought GitHub was the most accessible place to do this

Important question, thank you for asking! We will never monetise through means that jeopardise the privacy of our users. We want to monetise from % fees on payments and event ticket sales (pay-to-join events) in our B2B2C use case.

Joined! Looking forward to trying this out, thanks

Sounds cool, I don't have an Echo though. When can I get this on my other devices?

Thanks, I do all of our design but I can't take credit for these other than some colouring and minor alterations, they're from a generic set I bought a while back

Thank you! The older the company (typically) the harder and slower it is to innovate, we think they've completely missed to opportunities smartphone present.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I never foresaw such a small vertical to horizontal ratio screen!

Thanks, I love seeing the FAQ being used! You can probably tell this is our own custom tool, we want to build more of a community around product Q&A and support in the future.

Great question. Not particularly as the current Chaperone system works as an email digest of conversations sent to your confirmed guardian. In the future we want to explore adding full muzmatch account functionality here so the chaperone can sign into the native apps and view conversations in a more realtime manor.

Sorry to hear that, I thought I chimed in on most topics! All hands on deck for demo day, having another read through now

We monetised through a mix of In App Purchases for products like Extra Swipes (see more profiles daily) and Instant Match (guaranteed to be seen to a soecified user) as well as a Premium subscription offering that includes some supplemental features as well as bundles of the IAPs. People don't always like the realities of the app economy but in truth we didn't monetise anything that was previously free. The free product is still as functional as ever. We modify pricing from time to time, you can see these in-app and in-stores, thanks.

We see dating to be non-exclusive where as these 6,000 couples are in committed relationships

The chaperone feature is coming to both genders in the next major version. Historically it was just for women as we used to refer to it as a "Wali" which Islamically is only for this sex

We're supportive of this and is definitely on our radar

Islamically the concept of a Wali applies only to women but we totally agree, this will be expanded to both genders.

Thank you

It definitely keeps us busy 24/7 but we've built some internal tools to make this as quick and efficient as possible

We're definitely nearing the point of needing a dedicated Community Manager to take over this function

I know right! We began monetising in March but our existing features remained completely free, you wouldn't think that from the reviews though
