The Golo blog
This is an Indian gay blog of plain guides to the dating apps that gay and bisexual men already use. So far the articles are about Grindr: how exact your distance is, what an expiring photo protects, what a block stops, and what to write in a bio without a face photo.
Each article is checked against the app maker’s own help pages and other primary sources. We make our own dating app, Golo, so where it matters an article also says how Golo handles the same thing.
