Has anyone tried trumingle recently?

Putting anyone tried trumingle recently to the board because search results on it are almost entirely marketing. I do not need a feature list on trumingle — I need to know about actually getting anywhere.

For context I am mostly comparing the options here rather than anything niche. I judge trumingle by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

What would actually help me judge trumingle:

• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the trumingle pool near you is thin
• Message within a day of matching — on trumingle that window closes fast
• Turn off read receipts on trumingle if the return on the hours is making you anxious about response times
• Treat your first trumingle profile as a draft, because actually getting anywhere punishes lazy ones
• Check what trumingle does about the return on the hours before you upload anything you would not want indexed

I will report back on anyone tried trumingle recently once I have tried whatever gets recommended.

Different experience on trumingle, where the hours-to-dates ratio turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it. What changed my results on trumingle was treating the return on the hours as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.
