Yeah, I’m a programmer and I’ve got the itch to create one. DEAL with it! 😝
That said, open to suggestions…I realize that most dating apps have–shall we say–less than desirable people on it, but I’m concerned more about the way the platform operates.
For me, I think the dating app world is a hodgepodge of garbage. I’ve been on a lot of the common ones (and I’m willing to pay for one), But most of them are strictly an app–no web interface, and fully closed source and a privacy nightmare…or online but they block you if you even think about using a VPN (because obviously only criminals use VPNs).
So from a technical standpoint REST-based dating apps are best, because it can start on the web (and remain on the web), then a smartphone app could be built on top of it. Then again, my aim isn’t to digitally violate my users, so I’ve probably lost that game. 🤣
So, what about you folks? What would your ideal dating app look like?
Lemmy is for people that make dating apps, not people that likely use them
lmao
I guess the main thing I would want in a dating app is maybe not having them do research on lemmy since it’s a very unrepresentativr slice of the population at large.
