So…

And one more thing...

(sorry, i couldn't stop myself from throwing that line in)

X.com Mini App Ecosystem

We're also thinking long-term. X.com is actively developing a Mini App ecosystem — similar to Telegram's TMA model. Structurally, it's almost identical: web-based mini apps, built on the same logic of in-app payments, authentication, and content delivery.

If this platform goes live, SoapDate can be among the first dating apps to launch inside X, using our existing Telegram architecture. Because both environments are technically compatible, migration would take only a few weeks, giving us a huge first-mover advantage in a new ecosystem with global exposure.
