Astrology app Co-Star to launch a dating app...for book lovers?
Co-Star is launching a dating app for book lovers called Readme. Here's what we know.
Following the sale of astrology app Co-Star to image-generator Midjourney, Co-Star has announced plans to launch a new dating app called Readme. This dating platform focuses on book lovers, as reported by Emily Sundberg in her newsletter Feed Me on September 4th. Readme is the brainchild of Co-Star's founder and CEO, Banu Guler, and strategist Emily Segal.
Segal explained that the idea came from observing that despite friends frequently visiting bookstores, there were no real-life "meet-cutes" at bookstores. The duo aims to create an app that captures the essence of someone's spirit through their book preferences, rather than relying on conventional dating app profiles. While Co-Star is primarily known for its astrology focus, it remains uncertain how cosmic elements will be integrated into Readme.
However, given the app's origin, it is unlikely that the zodiac will be absent. The name Readme might also be a reference to the app's foundation. The launch party for Readme is set to take place this week, where further details are expected to be revealed.
