Development of a Niche Faith-Based Matchmaking Platform with Secure Messaging

The client requires a dedicated platform enabling members of specific religious denominations to find compatible partners and connect securely. Existing generic dating apps do not effectively serve this niche, and previous attempts to develop such an app have failed. Key concerns include delivering an intuitive user experience, maintaining high security standards, and ensuring the platform's reliability at scale.
