There is no shortage of dating apps out there. You have your Tinders and your Bumbles. But there are also dating apps made specifically for certain groups of the population. Grindr has grown into the largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people. There are dating apps for threesomes, for people who live in the countryside, for farmers, for music lovers... But get this: until today, there hasn't been a dating app to connect people who live with disabilities?! Kind of a wild thought. Did you know that 15% of the population of the entire planet live with some sort of disability? That's a large gap in the market that Jacqueline and Alexa Child have decided to try and fill with Dateability! Inspired by Jacqueline's negative experiences in the dating world while managing chronic illness, she and her sister both decided to dive into something they had no prior experience with and build an app for folks who live with disability to find love! Dateability is now live and if you wish to check it out: https://www.dateabilityapp.com/login Join the post-episode conversation over on Discord! https://discord.gg/expeUDN
