Although I'm personally done with dating sites, I'm glad to see someone else had this idea, and actually made it.

But please consider not making all data go through Google (analytics (which can be blocked) and firestore (which is required)) and allow logins without Google or Facebook accounts. Sharing browsing data of a dating site with a third-party should be considered a privacy issue.

I get a blank page w/ an empty header. When I allowed google-analytics in UBO, I get a blank page w/ a more populated header and 2 sign-in options.

I tried it in IE11 (where broken things go) and I get the You Need Javascipt message on an otherwise blank page.

Guessing this page just can't live in a decrapified world.

There was an error in the web console that they exceeded their Firestore quota. They probably didn't provision enough money for hours of being on HN's frontpage.

I'm pretty keen to date someone who blocks Google analytics by default. How does one find such a person? Is there room for a dating site that shadowbans anyone who willfully accepts the current state of surveillance capitalism?

That's quite specific though. It would make more sense for it to just be a simple question on OkCupid

Soooo... HN dating? Similar to "who's hiring" but for singles.

Ah. That's probably why it doesn't load for me.

I block local storage.
