Build a Meme-Based Dating App MVP in Bubble

Job ID: 39597014

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

I'm looking for a skilled Bubble.io developer to help me build out the MVP of D8Sync ("Date-Sync") — a bold, meme-first dating app that flips the traditional swipe/chat model on its head. Instead of swiping through profiles, users flip memes, react with {heart} "Yeah!" / X "Nah" buttons, and match based on humor compatibility. The system is built around AI feedback, "vibe" matching (social media post datas scrapes, custom data tags, AI Coach interactions, Meme Pack rReview responces), "click rate": how fast and what time users connect to app, and emotional resonance — not superficial photos or bios.

Users do not chat with eachother. Ever. They get messaged that they matached and are assigned a time, date and location (based on their calender prefs) to meet their match in a public space, like a coffee shop. They are give an "clue" to who they are to emet, somehthing they both would recocnize and can connect over: like a phrase, a sticker, a hand-held item, or particular cofffee order name. During this "blind date" AI is their wingman offering ways to exit the date from suttle (having their friend phone them) to a "panic button" which alters local athorities.

After the date, the AI checks in to see if they want to keep commnuicating or not: if not the connection goes away. No ghosting. No shame.. No rejection.

If they do, they unlock a "meme -to meme" IM where they only communicate using memes. After a number of days pass and the converssaation is still going, they can unlock a one-time "You want to chat?" function: they can exchange user pre-approved contact info (email/phone number) if they did not do so during the date. Both have to aggee, if one does not the offer is locked down and the mem convo continues uninterupted. After 3 days and a meme is not sent, this meme-chat thread is disolved.

Again, theus is not a typical dating app. The goal is to get people to meet because of shared humor and other "vibes"/intrests and actually meet in person: not just talk endlessly online like every other dating app ont he market today, to swipe "perficly curiated" profiles and have "perficly blanced" conversations.
