Quaran-Tinder …Just because you're practicing social distancing doesn't mean you can't be social. And it doesn't mean you can't date. A new dating app and website called QuarantineTogether.com is helping people meet while stuck in quarantine. Users are first asked if they've washed their hands, and if they answer "yes," they are connected to another user to text chat. If the chat does well for 20 minutes, both users are then given the option of switching to a video chat. Developer Daniel Ahmadizadeh says, "There are no rejections. It's less about your photo or your bio, it's more about actually being able to talk to another person." (UPI)
