I always wanted to make something like OkC, that caters to power users, but also to Marl. I will admit, I am Marl a lot of the time, so I know what Marls' want in a product. I already have an outline of my idea, but I won't give it away fully. Basically, I wanted something that is simple enough for Marl, but the internal features can be quite complex if you want to tweak them to find the perfect someone. It has to be an app primarily, and have a website as secondary. My ADHD brain is only good at ideating but I can't bring myself to work on them. I am no software dev, so it's always been just a dream.

I wanted an app, that has the question and answer capabilities of OkC, to get to know a person, without actually having to type anything. It would have filters for partners or personalities. It can have more provocative questions to get the users desires, morals and values. It would be a blind date sort of deal, to prevent it becoming a beauty contest. Meeting in-person would be the main goal, with safety in mind of course. Dating would not be the main point of the app, meeting people would be, doing activities together and such.

It would have a public dashboard of users, like ratio of M:F. I would love the return of the OkC blogs too.

In terms of scaling, I don't care about infinite growth, it would be like a B-Corp with a sustainable growth model. The monetisation could be a 3-6 month full-feature subscription. If it didn't work out, the user could just move on. The other worse option would be ads. The app could be open-sourced or a freemium model, I am not sure about the feasibility.

After going through the comments here, it seems @com2kid had already made something similar but I have some ideas to make it better. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37512127

Would love to know what he had learnt from working on that project!
