Just One A Day
In development — this is a preview

Good data drives real meetups.

I got tired of dating apps that won't tell you the truth about how they're going. So I'm building one that does — and publishing the numbers even when they make us look bad.

— Donn, founder

Just One A Day is an ethical non-monogamy platform open to everyone — single, partnered, any gender, any orientation. Every number we hold is published, so you can see exactly what your evenings are likely to look like before you spend any of them.

This exists to get people on dates. It is not built to be entertaining, and on that front it delivers reliably.

The whole mechanic

One recommendation a day.

One person, once a day. No directory, no grid, no infinite list, no second page. When you've dealt with today's, you're done until tomorrow.

There is no like button, and there never will be. Three options with anyone: write to them, ignore them, or dismiss them. Interest costs effort here, which turns out to be an excellent filter.

Not typos, and not about to improve dramatically either. A design this slow produces modest numbers. Modest numbers, honestly reported, are rather the point.

Walk the whole thing, then tell us what you think

The product isn't built yet. What you can do today is take the tour end to end — every screen, the way a member would see it — and tell us whether it's worth the bother.

Take the tour

Ten minutes. We'll ask for an email address so we can let you back in, and you can have it deleted the moment you're done.

Two things to ignore. The colours, type and styling are placeholders for judging the flow, not the finished visual design. And many buttons don't do anything yet — they're there to show what the product would offer, so a button that doesn't respond is the preview working, not breaking.
