Hey HN users, I wanted to get your feedback on a site i’ve been working on for a few months. It’s a free dating site that uses your likes and dislikes on various memes on the internet to match you up with a potential partner.
While still in the early stages of development I wanted to see if the HN community has any feedback for me in regards to the idea, the UX/UI and or comment on the technology choices i’ve made.
datememe is built as single page web app on top of node.js and its amazing modules: Backbone.js, connect.js, express, jade, mustache, socket.io to name a few. After the first page load all client to server communication is done via websockets and views are rendered on the client.
The database is redis which is extremely fast and a pleasure to work with after years of working on RDBMS systems.
For me this was a learning project but i’m happy to say that these technologies together provide a great framework to deliver real time event driven user interfaces. I can’t wait to see how it scales.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
