CLUSTER CHAT-DATING-GAY · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2010-07-24

Queer male dating apps

This cluster comprises dating and social networking apps tailored to gay, bi, trans, and queer men, emphasizing location-based matching, profile verification, and chat or video call features. The dated history, based on six entries from July 2010 to April 2016, shows sporadic releases with no clear trend, too thin to read a shape from. SCRUFF, HeeSay, and Hornet appear as traction leaders, though all display zero stars in the index.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
