Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the dating app where your dotfiles matter.

What is Wife Combinator?

Wife Combinator is a niche dating platform designed to connect technically-minded individuals (Nerds) with partners who appreciate their unique skills and lifestyle. We match based on commit history, coding languages, and technical aptitude instead of just photos.

How does the Nerd Scoring work?

Instead of swiping on superficial traits, we analyze your GitHub commit history, open-source contributions, choice of text editor (Vim/Emacs bonus), and even your Chess.com Elo rating. This creates a holistic 'Nerd Score' that showcases your true value.

Do I need to be a programmer to join?

Not at all! While the "Nerd" profile is tailored for techies, our platform is equally designed for "Women of Substance" who are looking for a reliable, intelligent partner—someone who can fix the Wi-Fi and build custom web apps on a Sunday afternoon.

Is this a joke?

We are completely serious about changing how people date. The modern dating landscape is broken, filled with gym bros and finance bros. We believe intelligence, technical capability, and shared niche interests form a much stronger foundation for a relationship.

When will the app be released?

We are currently in active development. You can click the "Join Waitlist" button anywhere on our site to secure your spot in line. Early waitlist members will receive priority onboarding and an exclusive "Early Adopter" badge on their profile.
