A friend and I implemented a similar interface for picking a place to eat with your partner / friend. We felt the Tinder-style interaction led to a really nice UX, but didn't gain any traction. It's good to see this interaction being applied to areas other than dating!

Is the app available on iOS? Does it have data for London restaurants? wife and I would use it.

To be clear: I /could/ implement this, but it would take more time to do so than I'm willing to allocate right now. I could build out a backend API though...
If anyone starts working on this, email me.

That's actually neat idea. I will probably build the first after I done completing my react native course.
Step 1: My wife and I both download an app.
Step 2: We link our accounts.
Step 3: We each find and read articles in the app, Pocket-style.
When done with an article, swipe right if I think my wife should read it. Swipe left if I don't want to pass it on.
Step 4: Open the queue of articles that my wife thinks I should read. Read them. Swipe right if I want to chat about it with her. Swipe left if I don't.
Step 5: On the weekends, as we're going for our walk, talk about the articles we both found intellectually stimulating.
