Given everything going on, this might not be seem that important, but hear me out because I've been struggling with this myself for a while.

We need a 'dating' site/app for finding bonds. Either temporary or long term.

Any tech savvy person able to help with this?

It’s called going out.

[partnerinheels]

[Wow she never thought of that. Sheva's just going to assume that technology isn't this one's forte.]

What about those who find that difficult? Not everyone's a social butterfly, or wants to even deal with bonding.

Seems that there's a need if multiple people have posted want ads for bonding. It might not be your cup of tea, but if it's helpful in keeping folks from going feral or explode, what's the harm in trying it?

[usurpers]

[ she assumes correct ]

Seems a little irresponsible to me. Like making a pact with someone based on letter exchange or a nice photo. If you can’t bring yourself to talk to someone in person from the get go, work on it. Difficulty isn’t meant to be sat on.

But that’s all a choice, bonding alternatives included. If it helps you or anyone else, I’m just being a brute.

why do we need this? when you want to bond with someone you can ask them.

[Oh and...]

what is an app?

[partnerinheels]

I'm picky, personally. It's a big emotional commitment, or so I've been told.

Seems like it would be helpful in finding options for bonding. Perhaps if it's more general, it can be for finding friends, sparring partners, like minded individuals.

App is short for application.

[Marie is not tech savvy but this whole idea is one hundred percent her thing and she wants in]

I cannot help with the technical side of the idea but I would love to help somehow. Perhaps for the time being, I could collect the ads from people who have trouble finding a Bond myself and read them out on the network at set days?

[partnerinheels]

Don't worry, that sort of tech wasn't my strength back home, let alone here where there's magic tech.

Reading might be a bit much, but gathering them is a step in the right direction. I just worry about everyone's privacy.

[plasticasshole]

That doesn't seem like a bad idea, actually. I'm admittedly not familiar with dating apps, but I understand that you make a profile for others to read in order to determine compatibility. If people could filter it based on Monster or Witch, that would be incredibly useful.

[partnerinheels]

Simplified, it's where people write up a little bio (or answer a questionnaire), post some pictures of themselves if they want, and have the ability to match with people they find interesting through direct, private messages.

Not everyone's good at in person networking.

It's a good idea, considering the amount of ads we see posted here.

[partnerinheels]

Another great point.

Any recommendations on the tech side of this?

un: METTATON

[glitzandglamour]

Oh my. It's turning out that there isn't anybody here to develop the app. Surely, there must be at least one person among us capable of making a dating app out there. Maybe somebody who can build robots, or update 2000-era cell phones to include rockets. *Cough.*

Failing all else... Why not host a monthly post for all in pursuit of bonds? Having a new one every month keeps it fresh. Each person can choose to disclose what they'd like in their own response. Fun trivia, lengthy autobiographies, sepia glamour shots, or the nitty-gritty business. And for those concerned with privacy, such as yourself, this means you can take communications privately at any time.

[partnerinheels]

It's not surprising, considering the tech here isn't quite like the systems I'm familiar with from my home.

It sounds like you're speaking to someone in particular.

If an app isn't a practical option, I think a monthly post would be helpful. It would consolidate the network a bit.

Can I ban filters or photoshop? Do they have that here?

[textsfromhotland]

[as if summoned by Mettaton:]

that's a GREAT IDEA OMGGG why didn't I think of that??

[partnerinheels]

Thank you. Can you help?

[wylderrant]

I'm not technically savvy, but I would very much be interested.

My bond has just abandoned me.

[partnerinheels]

Hopefully we can find someone to help with the tech end.

Did they go home?

[whydogs]

Sounds like it'd be nice to have.

[partnerinheels]

Are you having trouble finding a bond?

un: gioia.

[trouvaille]

Would modern app coding even work on one of these? Do we need a steampunk nerd to make Bondr a reality? An old priest and a young priest?

( that's exorcisms and it is the opposite of helpful in this scenario. someone with a bunch of cogs on their hat, though, we might be onto something. )

[partnerinheels]

I don't know. Probably not, but there might be a magic equivalent. That's also not my forte.

Bondr? Like the spy? Why are there priests involved?

[There may have been dating sites and applications in her day, but not Tinder.]

[hoboagogo]

thats a good idea

[he says because he would just be that asshole reading everyone's shit when he's bored.]

plenty of people get weird and cagey about the bond thing, so if itd help people get their shit together then even better. maybe even get people lined up for backup bonds for when the ones they have disappear.

[partnerinheels]

[Top on her list: not to make it public so people can do that crap. Even though she would observe too. Takes one to know one.]

Hey now, weird and cagey about bonding is an appropriate and valid response. Emotional connections can get messy, and disappearing bonds doesn't help matters.

Do you have people lined up?

un: CoolSkeleton95

[spaghettimonster]

THERE'S SO MANY GREAT IDEAS HERE.
AN APP!
A MONTHLY ORGANIZING THROUGH THE WATCHES!
AND...

I MEAN, IT'S COME UP BEFORE.
PEOPLE WHO WANT NEW BONDS...
IF WE DON'T MIND BONDING WITH PEOPLE FROM AEFENGLOM, THERE MUST BE OPTIONS.
DOESN'T THE COVEN HAVE A BULLETIN BOARD, OR SOMETHING, BY NOW?
WE COULD POST BOND ADS LIKE THOSE ROOMMATE ADS.

[Of course, he didn't have many nibbles on his. Maybe if he toned down the capslock.]

[partnerinheels]

[Oh wow the capslock is very intense.

Also the username.]

You are very enthusiastic, but I'm not pulling a tab from a poster for a bond.

Though I realize this is the technological equivalent, it does seem less depressing.
