      There have been some solutions but they usually face two problems:

      1. Small userbase due to lack of commercials and aggressive attempts to make users stay there as long as possible
      2. No advanced matching algorithms due to high costs of their maintenance. No ELO. Then we turn back to the userbase and marketing question: people with completely different interests or “look ranges” see each other all the time and their high expectations and standards make them bored on such apps. I’d be very happy to know any FOSS app that defeated these problems but such issues are pretty much universal.

        Can you point me in the direction of these failed attempts? I’m tempted to try something similar and would rather learn from others’ mistake first.
