What would a dating app on nostr look like? Some ideas: * use range proofs to obfuscate certain attributes like height/weight/age while still allowing for filtering and search * photos and personal info can be encrypted/decrypted using gift-wrapping techniques to obscure the original npubs that are behind each profile. * maybe something interesting can be done with lists and hash collisions? Similar interests would cause higher colission rates while obfuscating the list from brute-force searches. Also what would be the down-sides? Privacy concerns?

Idk, I've asked a few times and I'm skeptical. I don't have privacy concerns exactly, I just think no one would actually join because we're all too engrossed in our own projects. Also the dudes seem to think all the ladies are bots or feds 😅

If you were a woman or gay a dating app on nostr would look like primal when you first sign up and it suggests 70 shirtless guys to follow

Yes, dudes think the ladies of Nostr are bots, feds, or dudes pretending to be girls. That is correct. Then they'll complain about never getting laid and in the same breath complain about how awful women/feminism is.

Could filtering be a request? 1 "view the npubs that searched for singles in your city" 2 "choose which npubs will receive yours"

I imagine you could tag your profile with a geohash, and use that to make it searchable for a given area. Geohashes are pretty neat.

Yeah the UX has to be more than tinder + nostr. Needs to be a fresh take on matchmaking with zaps and customization.
