I think a lot of engineers underestimate the amount of non-technical effort that goes into running platforms with users.
It’s a shame I think there are some really interesting problems that a less profit driven dating app but currently anything without a big marketing budget isn’t going to have the userbase to support it.



What language? What does it do?
I’m no fan of GitHub but if you set up dependabot (or equivalent elsewhere), you can ramp maintaince down to running PRs through tests every few months (assuming it’s not software with a large attack surface)
