Speaking of Translove, I'm actually surprised that there isn't a Federated Alternative.
Would something like that even be feasible?
If so, it would no doubt give Fedi users more peace of mind, as well as security, to be on a dating app that's on the Fediverse, opposed to some random, corporate run platform.

Well, technically speaking, if you publish all the private information upfront, it can't "leak", but..
Dating app developers are bad at security as they think nobody can get into the endpoint or backend without the app, they think in terms of obscurity being security. But they are very wrong.

Someone on Lemmy linked me to Alovoa a few months ago but I never sat down to figure it out. https://github.com/Alovoa/alovoa
