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!

    I didn’t use QT! You’re right, it would have been good from a naming perspective. This is my first app though so I am not familiar with all the possible cross platform frameworks. I mainly hear about React Native, Flutter, or Kotlin Multiplatform. I was predominantly looking into mobile development because most people are on mobile. I’ll keep it in mind for the future though! Thanks for letting me know about it.
