Super great! Suggestions:
- let the shelters know about this (at least the ones in major cities) and see if they will promote it to their prospective adopters
- add functions to restart, go back, mark/save profiles, and review marked profiles (this would have made my latest pet adoption much easier!)
Thanks, good ideas and feedback.
The Tinder swipe mechanic for pet adoption is genuinely clever. Swiping feels low-commitment which is exactly what you want to get people browsing animals they wouldnt normally look at. How are you sourcing the shelter data?
Thanks! There are several APIs used by shelters to manage and share listings for pets that are up for adoption; right now I'm just using those.
