Yesterday i’m started working on FLOSS dating service.

I think make this very privacy friend and without payments.

Using old past PHP experience, but mobiles apps required. Maybe later, i learn Java and Swift, but support from community welcome.

    I was waiting for something like this to come up, cheers!
    Here is my idea of a FLOSS dating platform. I believe you can make a lightweight project by making it behave just like a profiles gallery, you can make use of pixelfed’s code to speed up the process.
    you can also let people fill their profiles with their federated social media content. by pulling profile pics, bios, and posts and linking them to the their dating profile.
    As for direct chats, because of how sensitive this data is. you can let people add their instant messenger handles, like matrix, xmpp, briar, or jami accounts and carry on the chatting using those platforms. this will save the instance admins from a lot of legal responsibility.

      Yeah, i’m choose for direct XMPP. Briar and GNU/Jami format cannot be popular now, because it’s not support offline messages without hassle. In Russia many peoples active using offline messages for save battery life, read about Push technology.

        XMPP sounds like a good choice. AFAIK it is already used in popular dating apps such as Grindr.

        A while ago I actually suggested to have a dating app build into Movim, but the main developer didn’t like it so much.
