I’ve ( @[email protected] ) been working on reverse-engineering Grindr and creating an open source client implementation for it since March.
When GrindrPlus closed, my project turned out to be its de-facto successor and immediatelly several thousands of people started following it. Now it has 70k+ downloads on Forgejo and the authorship is dedicated to public domain :)
- MIT licensed, no ads, no analytics, no trackers, no diagnostics, no statistics, no telemetry, only opt-in updates checking
- Signed releases, reproducible builds on all four platforms, full transparency
- And it’s now in Google Play (for the time being) and being reviewed for F-Droid!

Been using it for a few weeks and it works great. Far better than Grindr Plus. You are doing gods work sir!
It feels too good to be true though - what are the chances Grindr blocks OpenGrind clients?
Ah, it’s what the gays deserve! As Grindr has gone to shit, the call for a better version of it is necessary…I hope to be able to contribute some day to this project in minor ways, as it sounds fetch as fuck!
