PSSD Connect

2026 — now

PSSD (post-SSRI sexual dysfunction) can last long after someone stops taking an antidepressant. Besides sexual function, it can dull emotions and affect thinking and memory. That makes regular dating apps a hard place to be. PSSD Connect is a calm place where people living with PSSD can find friendship, company or a relationship, and nobody has to explain it.

What it does

  • Discover a few people a day, at your own pace
  • Profiles that let people share as much or as little about their PSSD as they like
  • Chat, voice notes and calls
  • Built-in safety tools and human moderators
  • Free to use, with an optional Plus membership
  • Available in seven languages on iPhone, Android and the web

How it's built

This is my second take on PSSD Connect. The first version (2024) was a web app on Node.js, MongoDB and Firebase. In 2026 I rebuilt it from scratch as a native app.

  • Expo and React Native for iPhone, Android and the web from one codebase
  • Supabase: Postgres with row-level security, auth, realtime chat and edge functions
  • LiveKit for voice and video calls
  • RevenueCat for subscriptions through the App Store, Google Play and Stripe on the web
  • Browser walkthroughs that test the main flows end to end before each release
