I plan to build a dating site catering explicitly to aspiring effective altruists. This is a side project for fun and personal fulfillment. I don’t know what I am doing but I am really keen on just making it happen and am also looking for others to contribute.
In terms of features, I am currently thinking of:
Login/signup
Create a profile with standard personal data (gender, age, other demographics, career, relationship goals), as well as “Cause Area(s)”
Page listing all the profiles
The ability to search profiles by different criteria
Ideally: ability to message other people, but this could be optional for MVP 1.0 since people could just link contact details this early on
I am trying to keep this really simple and ship something that can start to marginally fill the gap of atomized loneliness alongside services in the matchmaking ecosystem that include Reciprocity or whatever Aella tries to build. The simplest version I could make is just take all the public Date Me pages, collect them, and perhaps make them more aesthetic.
I am not a web developer (yet). I tried getting started with Wix but it doesn’t have any obvious ready-made templates for dating sites. Wordpress has templates but I hear it’s really buggy with all of the plug-ins. It would be nice if there was someone familiar with a website builder that could show the way. I’m probably underestimating the amount of work this involves.
I imagine there may be quite a bit of interest in using or working on such a platform! Let me know if you’d want to contribute at some stage of it, and in what capacity.
Are there any other features you would want, or technical recommendations?
[Question] What would you desire in an EA dating site?
