the 143

In beta

the 143

Every dating profile shows how you look. None of them show how you land.

Single Player is open. The Somatic Mirror takes three voice notes and tells you what people feel in the first minute with you.

It’s time to enter the dojo

30 sec × 3 notes
One take. Always.

The game

Three modes. One of them is open.

What is this?

Dating on the apps has become a game. But it’s a bad game.

The 143 is a different game. You start in Single Player, on your own, with a mirror instead of a lineup.

Single Player is a mirror, not a matchmaker. Nobody is picking anybody here yet.

Unfinished on purpose. The product will change.

How it works

  1. Your birthday

    So we can get under your wiring. Time and place, if you know them, unlock a few lines about how you date.

    Not a chart. Skip time or place and you still get the notes and the Mirror.

  2. Three voice notes

    Thirty seconds each. Something you love. A small peeve. What home feels like.

    One take, never coached. There are no better takes.

  3. The Somatic Mirror

    A reading about a minute later. One snapshot at a time, then the whole thing.

    We measure the live voice, delete the audio, keep the reading.

Why do this

Three notes

The Mirror reads all three at once.

Why this exists

Before we had names
we had a laugh

Robert and Cassie, arms around each other, in front of a wall of smiling Murakami flowers.
42°. Before names.

For me, it helped to know Cassie is a slow processor, compared to my hummingbird brain. I realized when I give her time to take in my words, and pay attention to the emotions of my own, she melts into me.

Why “143”

143 is pager code for I love you. One letter, four letters, three letters.
