I haven't tried it, but there is one: https://github.com/Alovoa/alovoa

Same. I installed it on my phone but in the end, I'm still stuck with the dilemma if I go through with giving them my data/info or not. At this point, I'd have better luck just loitering around Target and asking someone out.

Stupid question, why is there not something like totally anonymous dating without any data shared on online platforms? My only answer: Maybe this would get abused.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Absolutely. Just look at Roblox. Not exactly a dating platform but that's already shite.

[–] robber@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Exactly this. Since it does not seem to be federated, you're still forced to give your data to a third party you can't choose. And this makes the open source aspect a rather marginal benefit, at least for the privacy-concerned end user. Still, I appreaciate the effort.

Tried it, doesn't work. Too many bugs. I can't input a location and it fails to auto-detect so I am just living in cyberspace apparently.

It is very simple and few people, but it does work.
