Oh my god, thumbkissing.

"A feature called 'thumbkissing' shows your partners thumbprints whenever they’re touching the screen, and both phones will vibrate if your thumbs are on the same place."

This is clearly the best YC startup ever. Hurry up on the Android app for those of us in mixed relationships!

We're working furiously fast to have Android ready ASAP. It's only a few weeks behind and is almost done. This is right now our #1 request, cross-platform relationships are in these days!
Hm, you did realize that the comment sounded very much as being sarcastic, did you?
How did you get sarcasm from that post? Kalvin clearly seemed to enjoy the idea, particularly because he/she is currently in a relationship. I am in a long-distance relationship currently and I think "thumb-kissing" and the whole app in general is really brilliant. I'd use it, but unfortunately she's got a Blackberry.

I'm curious: are you in a relationship? That's not meant to be a jab; I just think that there's a pretty big gap in "getting" this idea between those in relationships and those who aren't.

It was definitely not meant to be sarcastic :) we actually do have Android very close to being done and soon Pair will be cross platform! Sorry for any confusion :)
The parent was referring to the great-grandparent.
Is there any talk of a web based (ie not require app) version of the platform?
