    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.

      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.
