I just posted on the FUTO chat since I didn't really know where to get the discussion going (https://chat.futo.org/#narrow/stream/38-project-ideas https://chat.futo.org/#narrow/stream/38-project-ideas). I think I would like to participate in the creation of something like that. In my head there are a couple problems a new app would need to address: - Stop the meat grinder that is the current swipe model - Feeling of overwhelming resulting of too many likes - Waste of time due to low quality propositions of matches - Most likes being based on looks Here is the process I had in mind (I invite criticism): 1. You are presented with 10 profiles without picture that are the closest to your own reported preferences (similar to what ok cupid did a while ago with the questions). You select 3 out of those 10. TBD what would actually be displayed to the user. 2. Repeat step 1 until you have 3 profiles that also liked your profile (with a timer in-between each selection) 3. You now see the full profile (still without picture) of the 3 people that liked you back, you select one 4. You have access to a couple pictures (max 3 or something) and you decide to match or not 5. If you match, you can only talk to this person. To return to new matches you have to decide to unmatch your current match. I figured that this process would require minimal content moderation / bot detection since we limit images and they are only shown later (same with the full profile). There are probably some flaws that need to be worked out in my process.
