History
On July 21, 2023, an anonymous user posted a link to a self-made free and open source dating app on 4chan's /soc/ board, initially describing it as an "experimental matchmaking algorithm".[2]
In May 2024, the app went viral, briefly outranking mainstream apps including eHarmony on Google Play's "Top for $0" dating category despite the app's creator stating "it was only meant to be a meme app". Mashable described it as "an amalgamation of other, better dating apps like Grindr and OkCupid."[1]
During this time, Duolicious was subject to an alleged data breach. However this was later revealed to be a scrape of profile information that could have been accessed by anyone possessing a Duolicious account.[3] The scraped data was published on a website which allowed it to be searched without a Duolicious account.
