Tbh, maybe someone should try making an open-source dating app.
You know what, being a dev myself that’s something I’ll try as a hobby project. We’ll see how it work out.
Making a dating app is easy. Getting the users is not.
Getting women* users is not
There ain’t never a shortage of thirsty males haha
Well maybe after ww2 there was a time… But you get the point.
Easy fix: The user base should be gay dudes
do 'em boys even need apps tho, seems like thats like one group of people who aint struggling to find true love haha
They should try men
Yuck with the penises and all that? How the hell you supposed to fuck a penis anyway? What’re you supposed to do, dock em or something? I ain’t going near no gross dick. I mean sure, if she looked hot and I went to pull up her skirt after I had a few drinks in the bar and suddenly there was a dick… Well I don’t need to look at that when I’m tapping that ass from behind. It’s not like I’m gay or anything though. Sheesh. Weirdos.
Honestly, dating apps are one of the cases for a federated system. Use whatever frontend you want, no one person owns the backend so they can’t sleazily monetize you. Probably would need to be a bit more cryptographic than something like lemmy or mastodon though.
Duolicious is one. Its user base is mostly 4channers though.
I know about:
Alova- License: MPL-2.0
I know that, and I hate it. Yet, I do not know any other way to meet hot singles in my area (or not in my area).
