I'm thinking of building a decentralized dating app (without crypto). It's something like WordPress but for dating. People can host it on-premise. You can say it's like white-labelling dating app. So each community (church, gym, yoga studio, etc) can have their own dating app and don't have to live on the mercy of Match.com. This way, we can keep Match.com in check.

Same though popped up in my head, but rather than self-host, use P2P technology like SSB. Easier to use (see Manyverse), doesn't require installing servers yourself and you could easily build those communities as pub servers if needed. Otherwise just match people at random.

That still sounds technically out of reach for most non-technical people, so you’ll just end up with dating nodes filled with (mostly male) techies.
