How I Built Fated.chat

Building a university blind-dating product with form-driven compatibility scoring and campus distribution.

Fated.chat started from a product question: can campus matching feel more intentional than photo-first swipes?

Compatibility forms, closed networks, and trust UX mattered more than flashy interfaces.

Seeing hundreds of students onboard made the systems work feel real.
