[Xposed Framework Modules] willysmith:
We're all very grateful for the time you spent on this project, and we're sorry to see it end this way. Since I'm responding to what was publicly written, I think it's fair to respond publicly and not privately. I think we all learn from these types of discussions.

I have been using the mod ever since it first came out before you took over, making feature suggestions and contributing in my own little way to its development. As [MENTION=6967614]Ka1ex[/MENTION] mentioned, much like the first GrindrGuy passed along his info to you in the spirit of the (gay and XDA) communities, it would be respectable if you would pass along all of this knowledge you gained both from him and from your own efforts to a next GrindrGuy. It seems there are already some community members who are interested, like [MENTION=7967281]_genevera[/MENTION] (GrindrGal?!).

Since you shared your views about why you consider the app to be bad, I want to offer a different perspective.

The app profits from the gay and trans community: but so do real-life spaces dedicated for gays (bars, clubs, etc.). I know many couples that have met online thanks to apps like this, and I myself have many friends thanks to the app. I regularly meet people, for coffee, dates or whatever, and the location picker is useful to meet new people in new places. I think there's a difference between apps like this that *may* versus *do* have an impact on relationships and mental health, I'm not sure that there is a causal relationship (that being said, if I'm misled in my understanding, do let me know!). The app can be useful, and a douche online will also be a douche in real life. So, yes we can continue to use the app. GrMod just makes the app easier to use, and also provides some critical features which the main app doesn't have.

Requests to filter on age, weight, and so: I'm not sure why this is a bad thing, and honestly I'd like to understand and maybe learn this other perspective. If I'm looking to find a date, it's obvious that I, much like yourself, have a preference for a "type" that i find attractive or not - just like I probably wouldn't hit on someone who is far away from my age range in real life. And if I want to filter a search like that doesn't mean that I'm not available to be contacted. I'm not sure why this is such a strong point for you and why you think this might have a negative impact on gays. I'm not saying your opinion in wrong, I'm honestly just trying to understand where you're coming from.

You had mentioned you were against blocking previously, and I think it follows along these same lines. I know I'm not interested in some profiles, and since i have a limited number of profiles I can see, I prefer to see some potential matches that I wouldn't have seen otherwise, and "gaming the system" if you will. I'm still not quite sure why this is a bad thing, but I've been wondering why you do. (again, I'm just interested in your perspective - feel free to reply in PM, I'm not trying to offend you or anything, I'm sincerely interested.)

I have reached out to Grindr to ask to implement that view-blocks feature, which I think is a safety issue. I think this is one of the most critical features, as I too have had one bad experience. All the other cool things GrindrGuy and yourself implemented along the way were always nice extras that just made it easier to use.

Thanks again for all your efforts - if using the app and working on the mod has had a negative impact on your life, please *do* leave it because it's not worth sacrificing your own health, and it seems like it's have a negative force on you! Just please don't generalize your situation with that of many other happy, healthy users, and don't kill the mod which you picked up because you think it's a negative force on everyone else. Had it been all your own, I could maybe just say "thanks" and drop it, but I think you'd be alienating the original GrindrGuy's intent by just pulling the plug from future developments, I hope you choose to do the right thing.
