Is anyone developing a dating app on Nostr?

Still waiting. At one point the requirement for a NIP for "relationship status" was making the rounds bit it didn't catch on and nobody is using #datechain.
I don't know that I have ever been on a date.
Orange pill app feels like one, π
My (global) DM's too.
Sir, there are like 12 women on nostr and 5 of them are dudes
So youβre saying there a chance?
Lmao

That ratio seems low.
@7fqx check it out. #dozens
Sushi Glory Hole lyrics come to mine.
Chances are you're gonna get a dick, but it's worth it for the quality of...women.
Reply girls are getting boyfriends too π€£
I've muted most of them.
They have so many boyfriends already.
4 of the dudes are my girlfriends!

most of the⦠dudes?
Hahaha rotfl
Wrong
So like every other dating app, atleast here you can zap them upfront ππ€£
Still need π
THERE'S A SIMPLE WAY FOR THEM TO VERIFY...

This is the app. Set your best trap.
@Terry Yiu this person was making a dating app for nostr if im not mistaken
π I would create it as a bubble for itself with its own relay(s), using the protocol but not interlaced with the other stuff.
not sure thats a good idea
How would a dating app be "different" on Nostr? What could we do to improve upon the fiat versions?
Not a conference app. A dating app, with the sex and all that
Fiat versions? Dont turn everything into the bitcoin cult
Thats what i thought he was making. Whoop whoop. I honestly thought it was a dating app
I was thinking about overtaking an old social network, talking 20+ years, a dating website for punks and rebels that hasn't changed since 2005 and has not implemented any European laws regarding data security, moderation, privacy laws, none whatsoever. The thing refuses to die and nobody is snitching, it's also very badly done and has so much potential. I see the potential and have ideas but I have no interest in implementing any of those rules either. If nobody is in charge nobody can be choked so... Put that shit off the servers and onto relays.
Okay let's approach this a different way.
How could a dating app built using Nostr be a better way of connecting people than the current versions that are out there, with an honest business model that is not based on debt so as to mitigate the risk of exploitation of its users?
Right now dating apps have no incentive to work. Just to keep people on them.
Ooh can you say the name? Do you know anyone who has connected with someone on there successfully?
A see a client that simply has the optionality of disclosing your marital status which would indicate to others that youβre either available or not.
Then conversation can happen organically
None of you give a fuck about Digit so why should women show up?
Current successful and mainstream dating platforms are charging high fees to keep low quality people off the platform. Dating sites are overrun by men immediately and you have to control your userbase and men-women ratio or you're dead in the water. Like a club. That's why women get to sign up for free most of the times and men have to pay.
However once you charge money and manipulate and moderate what's happening, you have to have a big team of employees, with that comes all the company baggage, you're in a jurisdiction and have to abide by whatever rules they make up and so forth.
With nine of that, you can implement all the settings people want and self-moderating tools that no company offers due to political correctness.
I see no problem with exploitation even with the current platforms. Those are services offered by companies, take it or leave it.
...plus all your other features and preferences, a location for searching for nearby people etc.
Lord help us
Mute everyone, it's the only way.
So like a decentralized literal match maker! You pick and choose what you want and only see profiles that match that (and you match their preferences).
Dont make it about money lol
Letβs get it going then ya? π€
Unfortunately everything costs money to operate. Even decentralized technology.
Comingle with your future significant other at the next Nostr conference
lol π€£

Correct
If its rum on nostr, the infrastructure costs are basically $0
It costs 0.001 BTC to message user xStacyx.

We enter onlyfans territory immediately.
Service provider takes a cut from every zap.
Nice.
I'm not sure this is true. Nostr devs often ask for donations.
I run a relay, I know how it works
Anyone can spin up a relay for $10 a month
Remember NIP-69, @Chiefmonkey ?
A dating app would need more than just a relay. But even $10 a month is a cost. Nothing is free.
π€£
Devs can always add premium features or cost to send/receive images
The cost to do this is basically nothing compared to traditional dating apps
If devs use existing relays, it drops to only image hosting
And @Uncle Swan with his start69
It's because guys are significantly smarter than girls π
and??
donβt we want that 7 to get married and make more nostr/ bitcoin node running babies?? lol iβm here for it
π how could I ever forget our concept for Nip-69... can't help but think it's comedic value has been wasted @ibz
And Start69? why is this not a thing already? genius π
Bigger brain bigger smart
If that's so then why do Nostr devs get grants from opensats and ask for donations?
You are relating two completely different things here. Grants are for dev work on the nostr ecosystem.
Anyone can run a relay.
On nostr, you see cool devs like jb55 offer a relay for his app Damus as well as get grants for his app.
I run a spam-free public relay and offer lightning wallets for free. How bout dat?
That's awesome that you provide that.
Yes anyone can run a relay (we do in my home as well). But that is very different from operating a dating app. Even if it uses Nostr. I say this as someone building @NextBlock and everything is somehow still costing money.
Oy vay..........why is this so hard to reach you lol
Depending on how you do it , paying the dev can be your only cost . You can even offload the media upload cost to third-party servics
Yes but that is still a cost. π
I'm not sure how these few expenses we're in agreement on don't count as costs.
Came here to say this π
Also, look at Amethyst,provides nothing but an app. Vitor's only costs is his time
That project is supported by opensats. 
OpenSats
Amethyst - OpenSats
Amethyst is the most feature-complete Nostr client for Android.
Made me chuckle! π€

Dude look at this @Anna
seems obvious what kind of dating app @Rico should develop
Lol, I still can't wrap my head around how zaps work. Give me another year...
My whole setup is really mature like that

Except it's just a sausage party.
Most of the Bitcoin space, to be honest.π€£π€£π€£
True.
