I am working on https://firedating.me - a dating site for FIRE (Financial Independence / Early Retirement) enthusiasts. One can also look for friends there. The stats are public: https://firedating.me/open The site is 100% free and even ad-free. It is my hobby project and I just enjoy helping others, meeting interesting people and learning while developing it. Looks like loneliness is widespread in the FIRE community…

Gold digger heaven, here I come! Seriously cool idea, sounds like fun and it might be quite refreshing for the fire-folks to talk to like-minded people, it can be hard not to talk about your passion too much.

It is interesting that so many people think of gold diggers, but so far this haven't been a problem (there is a way to report users and the number of reports is very small).

You should absolutely submit this to /r/fire and /r/fatfire on Reddit. Finding a financially compatible partner is crucial for long term life success. Wishing you much success.

I've been developing a Chrome extension for learning foreign language vocabulary from sites you love - http://vocabboost.online/ . Basically, it makes fill-in-the-blanks quiz out of any webpage. It is language agnostic (just relies on word separators), so it works with almost all languages. Users asked to support Japanese, so I use TinySegmenter for Japanese word separation.

A social cannabis app (since its legal where I live -- Canada). It seems like the available alternatives on the app store generally aren't fulfilling their user's needs.

Working on this: https://loan-free-ed.neocities.org

An open source, decentralised and non-profit platform to facilitate loan-free education that will enable life-long learning, and also increase income of teaching and non-teaching staff of education institutions.

Looking for pirates/rebels to change the education sector for the better. Not an easy task, we may die trying :)
