Discussion I’m building a matchmaking app where every member is verified by baptism certificate. Would this work for our community?

Shlama/hi all. Full disclosure: I’m the person building this, so take it as a founder asking for feedback.

The app is called Mahabba. It’s for baptized Christians of the Eastern churches and the Catholic Church: Assyrian Church of the East, Chaldean, Syriac Orthodox and Catholic, and the other Eastern churches. Everyone has to show their baptism certificate before they can meet anyone. A person reviews it once and then it’s permanently deleted; only the yes/no is kept. You can say which church you belong to, where your family comes from (Tur Abdin included), and which languages you speak.

It hasn’t launched and there are no members yet. I’d rather hear now what would put you off than find out after launch:

  • Would you be willing to upload a baptism certificate?
  • What’s wrong with how you meet people now: Facebook groups, family, church events?
  • Would you want to be able to meet people in other countries?

Waiting list, if you want to be told when it opens: https://mahabba.pages.dev/?utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=assyria
