Dating on an app is challenging. But have you experienced dating on mainstream apps while also living with a disability, chronic, or invisible illness? After disclosing that she was disabled on mainstream dating apps, Jacqueline Child would often be ghosted and disappointed in the dating experience. Jacqueline and her sister Alexa decided it was time to develop Dateability, an app that eliminates the worry of being misunderstood, ghosted, or berated with questions, focusing instead on a user base that is inclusive and informed. In this episode, Jacqueline and Alexa speak about the importance of launching their app together, the value they each provide and why they think it’s so important to create opportunities for people with disabilities and invisible illnesses to safely connect.
