Ask HN: What would an ideal matchmaking platform look like today?
2 by grandimam | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Most dating and matchmaking apps still use the same model — profiles, photos, swipes, filters but human relationships and expectations have evolved a lot in the last decade. If you were to design a matchmaking platform from scratch today, what would it look like? How would you handle: - Trust, authenticity, and privacy in an age of AI and deepfakes? - Cultural and regional diversity without stereotyping? - Real compatibility beyond surface-level traits? - Balancing data-driven matching with human intuition? - Building something that encourages long-term relationships, not just short-term engagement? Curious to hear from people who think about product design, social systems, ethics, and human connection.
