Yesterday i'm started working on FLOSS dating service.

I think make this very privacy friend and without payments.

Using old past PHP experience, but mobiles apps required. Maybe later, i learn Java and Swift, but support from community welcome.

How do you make a dating site that is specifically for post USSR countries?

are you aware of alovoa? Maybe you could collaborate to some degree.

I also think you can pretty easily generalize it to a "friend finding" website (something like bumble bff). You could specify activities you want to do with someone like exercise or walking or some interest and find people.

I planning make friend finding too. alovoa use Java and more components i don't have.

My server build with KPHP - it's translate PHP syntax to C++ and give native application.

I'm think it's more effective, KPHP under GPLv3. (yeah, it's made by famous russian closed social, but "play in open source" can be used by libre comminuty).

About post-USSR, my native language is russian and Russia turns more others languages in daily use, i think need select importent goal for support it.

I don't completely understand what you said here, i assume your english is not very good (English is also not my first language so i understand getting good at it is tough, just keep reading and practicing!, I think it's one of the most useful skills you can ever work on).

If the main problem is that you don't know english well and can't provide a translation have a look at how liberapay does it (look at the upper right corner of the homepage). you could have others provide a english translation (but probably the sooner you will add a translation infrastructure the better).

Cool project btw!
