Dating apps have become enshittified and is why they are so ineffective. However, there is a huge opportunity for improvement. The core hypothesis my app is: a pay-per-mutual-match model that aligns user and app incentives. The mutual financial investment also makes users more likely to engage once they match.
My app doesn’t rely on complex algorithms or AI for matchmaking, as they perpetuate biases. Instead, I use a transparent system where users fill out a detailed questionnaire, and I match them based on their answers using SQL queries.
The app is built with open source software (Docker, Django, Flutter, and more!), so no vendor lock-in. This is the first app I ever made so it has been an incredible learning experience.
Ask me anything about my app, Qtpi, my tech stack, or my journey!
Yes, that graph sort of thing is exactly something I’ve imagined before. I think it has potential. Assuming you have users, that is.
Thank you! Yes, I think it has potential too. I do hope that I am able to get users. That will be the crux of the problem. I’m going to start trying to market and get college students to try it out. We will see. Hopefully it goes well.
