I Built a Dating App That Starts From Side Projects, Not Selfies — in 2 Hours

·1 views

What if you met someone through what they build with AI — before seeing their photo or job title? That was our experiment for Coffee Meets Codex, built at DevDay Exchange Community Hack Day: Taipei on Oct 4. We got 3rd place — voted by other builders, not judges.

When I first ran into Web3, CryptoKitties were a thing, NFTs were everywhere, and DeFi was exploding.
