A new female-founded dating app called After is launching in Austin, Texas, on Thursday with the mission of tackling ghosting and holding people accountable. What sets the app apart from the rest of the dating app scene is that After requires users to share why they have unmatched a person before they are allowed to keep swiping. The idea behind the feature is to get rid of abrupt disconnections and confusion. Founded in October 2023, After is the brainchild of Katie Dissanayake, who came up with the idea for the app after spending a decade in the dating app industry. Prior to founding After, Dissanayake worked at Hud, where she fell in love with tech and learned about everything from trust and safety to product development. With After, Dissanayake wants to address problems around dating app fatigue, and do something different from what the major dating apps offer.
