About Pineapple Field Notes

About this blog

Pineapple is a dating app for people who want a better way to meet. We start with a short call, keep faces hidden, and let both people choose when to reveal more.

This blog is where we explain the work behind that promise. We write about product choices, safety, design, code, and the systems that keep Pineapple running.

The notes are written in plain English. You do not need to know every tool before you start reading.

Why we write here

Good systems are easier to trust when people can see how they work. We share what went well, what failed, and what we changed after learning more.

These notes are not a promise that every system is finished. They are a record of the work and the lessons that come with it.
