Good idea! One problem is that some people will swipe right on everything in one or both categories. Limiting the number/fraction of right swipes might help.

Oh yeah, the devil is definitely in the details. Ideally the matches given should be proportional to the “chances” you give.

If the purpose is to create relationships then I believe people shouldn’t be able to match too many times without giving “chances”.

The app could facilitate this through ice breakers or perhaps embedded small games or showing a TikTok or other short video to facilitate conversation.

The problem is that modern apps make people do all the work, which is fine, but there are some who require a little push or something explicitly to discuss to get started.
