We are currently working on an aro/ace focused app where you can find people looking for non-romantic/non-sexual relationships (or like minded aro/ace friends ofcourse!)

For anyone thats interested in either testing it once we release a beta or wants to help out we have a discord you can find here: https://discord.gg/9xW5CtP2HH

Hope to see some of you there :)

I mean ya technically can I think at least for android there are tools for it but it's not common though, something about using the java virtual machine with it.

Javascript is actually good for web apps tho but yea for native apps for android java is the chosen language. 

Java as a language is kinda a little hmm clunky imo and old fashioned but it does the job for sure.

I think in the a next google OS to replace android they will not use java x3 I do know a very basic amount though. 

I think though having a seperate language for both ios and android for development seems a bit too much either pick a platform or use a language or framework that works for both, and that doesn't need to be the native coding language often things like C# or javascript based. There are frameworks that allow you to develop for both as I know of.

Im pretty sure xamarin .net works for both IOS and android. Also where did you hear android is getting replaced, never heard of that but im not really into smartphone app dev tbf.

I can code in python hah (not sure it's that great for mobile apps lol) and a bit of js yeah this should be a thing tho for sure (the dating app)

I think important things would be like which framework to use/language, what kind of UI you want. You could even use a existing template perhaps? Then otherwise what features to have but I guess it would be modelled on existing things. I would be happy to help out at least direct a little if anyone was interested in making something lol

Most apps for android are written in java and for IOS in objective C I believe. Not sure if you can use python or not.

Only you can really determine what kind of attraction it is. I can only speak about myself, when I have a squish and very strong platonic attraction I may want to be physically close to them like cuddling hugging etc but I def dont want to do romantic things like dating them kissing them etc.

In the end of the day nothing is romantic unless theres romantic attraction/intent combined with the action, you can platonically kiss, hold hands etc. and romantically hug someone. Its extremely subjective which sometimes makes it hard to determine what your feeling, especially when its about determining the absence of something instead of the presence.

Hope this  helps :)

Being aro puts you so far away from the normal heternormative life experience that it absolutely should be considered LGBT+.

The moment i realized that i was fine on my own and didnt need anyone else to be happy or complete as a person felt like a weight was lifted off my chest. Felt like i could finally start living for me and not just to fullfill the expectations of other poeple.

Ive told most of my friends and family members that im not looking for a relationship, unless someone directly approaches me I wont go looking and that I dont want to get married ever. So I guess i told them but I never technically told them 'hey im aromantic'. I feel like most of them understand.

does anyone here know how to code? because we should totally make this app.

I was thinking about making this actually.

Can relate.

In reality I dont actually want to be in a romantic relationship, but its the normative way to get commitment from a partner.

What I actually want is a friend with some level of commitment so I dont need to be worried about being abandoned and left alone for the next best person

Pretty sure I knew since I was 15 but just discovered it now in my early 20s
