Tinder is a proprietary privacy nightmare that requires oneโs Facebook data for functionality. It even has its very own analytics library just to enhance the Orwellian tracking.
You donโt want any of that.
If youโre searching for a partner or a lover, Alovoa is the better corner of the internet to find one. Itโs private, secure, and vitally open-source.
You can find the serviceโs source code here.
Alovoa has an Android and iOS app. Here is the native Android app. Its source code can be found here.
The native Android app was released fairly recently in late October last year, and appeared on F-Droid some days ago. If you encounter any bugs, report them in the Issues section of its GitHub repository.
Iโm not the developer.
I read an article a while back about how one DM on Twitter led to a happy marriage. The correspondents had no prior relationship. Just a curious DM. Iโm not endorsing the use of Twitter here, especially for dating.
Dating isnโt always about marriage, though, and dating platforms are also aboutโฆ casual sex. Yup. One-night stands. A lot of magic can happen via online dating once the connection is there. I donโt see it as inherently bad or evil.
A lot of very personal information is exchanged on these type of sites, so itโs very, very important itโs a private AND secure platform.
