The name is Aphrodite in Finnish.
That will make easier for businesses to modify, extend and host their own versions of the service. This helps businesses to enter to the dating app market without huge technical investments.
It is also possible to reduce bot users with security by obscurity. Backend API can be modified and the modified frontend and backend code can be hidden. (Yes, I know that this is not a reliable solution for preventing bots. I have planned to implement support for EU digital wallet when that is possible. It will most likely solve bot user issues if all users must verify their identity with the wallet.)
It is not available anywhere yet.
A release for Finland with another branding will happen when the app is considered ready for production.
Global app releases are not planned and are not possible in practice as the backend is monolithic. Also the backend profile iterator API uses 2D matrix with jump info for iterating profiles from nearest to farthest, so it might use a lot of RAM depending on how large the matrix is.
