What would a FOSS dating app look like?

What it would look like is a badly themed badly optimized front end that isn't in the App store, was recently removed from the Play store, with a rape awful name like CLIT or CL Isn't Tinder or LibreMeetCute and a nonsense icon. It would rapidly become recognized as the engine used by the huge number of extremely sketchy personals sites that popped up all of a sudden that contain only virtual prostitutes. It would also be the engine that powers Truth Romance. It would have the worst Github issues page in human history.
