Fediverse dating app? (kbin.social)

This is just a thought I had that I wanted to bounce off people who know more about ActivityPub/the fediverse— would it be feasible (and would it make sense) to build an open-source, ActivityPub-compatible dating app as an alternative to Tinder/Bumble/etc.? And if so, what could that look like? Obviously the small userbase would be an issue, but I feel like there's enough frustration with the mainstream apps that there'd be at least some migration if a good decentralized & non-commercial option existed. I know I'd use it. What do y'all think?

These are great things to think about, thank you! It definitely feels like it would be a big undertaking if it did happen, and starting small seems like the right move.

@audrbox I am interested to know if you have any thoughts on the questions I raised.
