What would a dating app on nostr look like?
Some ideas:
* use range proofs to obfuscate certain attributes like height/weight/age while still allowing for filtering and search
* photos and personal info can be encrypted/decrypted using gift-wrapping techniques to obscure the original npubs that are behind each profile.
* maybe something interesting can be done with lists and hash collisions? Similar interests would cause higher colission rates while obfuscating the list from brute-force searches.
Also what would be the down-sides? Privacy concerns?
