A-Café (Update #7) - Frontend Design Progress Continues, and Other Important Considerations

Hello friends! Welcome to another update!

\[For context: A-Spec people are incredibly diverse, with varying relationship preferences and types of Aromanticism/Asexuality. We’re aiming to create an app that will help connect Asexual and/or Aromantic people across the world and give them the power to search for the specific relationships they want\]

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The updates go as follows:

1) More Progress on Frontend Design! We are so close to starting Frontend coding. All that's really left to do is tie up loose bits and bobs. Once we’ve polished the prototype, I’ll post a link so you all can play around with it. In the meantime, though, here are some more pictures of the first draft (I can't post all of them because there's more than 20 artboards lol). Let us know how we can make improvements!

3 pages from the A-Café prototype lay on top of a black background. The first artboard features a user's profile, the second features various comfort levels, and the third is a form for making a group.

2) We’re considering whether or not minors should be allowed on A-Café. Although we initially decided for safety and legal reasons that A-Café is an adult-only platform, we also acknowledge that many A-Specs are young teenagers. So, later on I will create a post to discuss this issue with the community and see what the general consensus is. There would of course be restrictions put in place to protect minors if they were allowed on.

3) We may become a non-profit. In last Wednesday’s dev meeting, we discussed possibly forming a non-profit organization under the name “The International A-Spec Institution” (or something along those lines). So when we eventually set up a donation method, your gift may be tax-deductible. We haven’t worked out the knots just yet of course, but we’ll keep you updated on how that goes!

\---------------------------------------

Final Thoughts: There's so much more I want to explain but if I did this post would be very long haha. I try to keep these updates short so they're easier to read.

Rest assured, once the prototype is done, I can more properly show you what we've been working on. In the meantime, if you’d like to follow along more closely on our development journey, feel free to join our discord!

Just realized how fucking shit my romantic life is going to be

I’m a 15 years old male , I’ve identified with asexuality for about 4 years now and I’ve known since back then that my romantic life would be difficult , specially considering I’m neither the most beautiful nor the most charismatic guy out there , being asexual of course wouldn’t do me any favors but I just realized how fucking shit my romantic life is going to be .
It’s just that all of my friends (all around my age) have started their sexual life this year .
Whenever I hear something about their sexual life I just feel like I’m somewhat broken or incomplete inside , hell , some of them have become friends with benefits , they aren’t even in a relationship but they still fuck each other , bitch , we are 15 .
Idk I’ve always known that guys are horny but I’ve realized that my female friends are exactly the same .
who could ever date someone who won’t provide for their physiological needs is something that comes to my mind whenever I see any couple

Creepy Aphobe "Nice Guy" Landlord made sexual advances AND threatened to screw over my government benefits. I got it on recorded audio.😈

Yep as the title said. Didn't know to label this as Aphobia or Pride.

So, I'm working on still moving out, and I got an apartment tour this Wednesday. And while I'm busy getting everything ready, working on my favorite hobby (Writing Fanfiction) and petting my guinea pig, guess you comes waltzing in?

Yep. Creepy Landlord.

I had started recording everything that goes between us. I heard him coming, so I instantly turned my audio recording on.

He then proceeds to make sexual advances on me, KNOWING full well that I am sex-repulsed asexual and the asshole is MARRIED. He then, in the same conversation, threatens to "expose" me to have my much needed Government benefits cancelled.

Saying "Oh you're still young," "You just need the right man," "You're just a pretty little thing, you just need someone to make you feel loved..."

*gags*

Well jokes on him! I already gathered all the paperwork to cover my ass to keep my benefits AND I got recorded evidence of him threatening me!

I can't wait for when I move out so I can send this to his wife! Let her see what a sleezeball he really is!

Just wanted to share with you guys what's going on. I know a lot of you were concerned about my living situation. Don't worry, I've been a delayed but I'm still pushing forward! Thank you all for your support and your advice! Hope to have a positive moving update soon!
