Okay, now that the teaser for @retromeet is out and I made all repos publicly available, I want to talk about the project a little bit.

First of all, as you might be able to see from the code and the landing page, it's very early. I've been thinking about it for the last three months or so, but I haven't been coding much because I've been trying to think on how to approach the problem.

Dating apps are part of our daily lives for a while now, but I feel like they got lost in surveillance capitalism for a few years now.
The name RetroMeet comes not from the desire to go for the "olden times of dating", but to dating as it was in the beginning of dating apps. Before all dark patterns became a standard and before appearance became the main focus of dating.
I do not want to make a clone of the main dating apps, because I disagree with their format and their model.
