Overview

A sober dating platform for people in recovery seeking meaningful relationships without alcohol-centred social environments. Privacy-first by design — minimal data collection, GDPR-compliant self-service deletion, and a founding membership model for early adopters.

The Challenge

Building a dating platform where trust and privacy are the core product — not an afterthought. Every design decision had to reinforce safety for a vulnerable community, while still delivering a compelling, modern dating experience.

Features

Privacy-First Architecture

Minimal data collection at signup (email, gender, age only). GDPR-compliant with self-service account and data deletion.

Compatibility Matching

Questionnaire-based matching system pairing users by values, lifestyle, and recovery journey.

Founding Membership

PayPal-integrated founding membership (£49) for early supporters who helped shape the platform.

User Dashboard

Profile management, match browsing, and date feedback collection in a clean mobile-first interface.

Admin Panel

Waitlist management with CSV export for community growth tracking.

Firebase Auth

Secure authentication with password reset, protecting a community where trust is paramount.
