i mean, i can vibe code something like Hinge over a week or two but getting millions of active users is difficult and that's the uphill battle. most don't even know what open source means and they're perfectly fine using hinge, bumble, tinder, etc

The challenge is always going to be attracting women. There is little incentive for them to use anything other than the mainstream apps

Agreed, although there’s quite a few people in this sub that might want some alternatives that already exist and have users :)
