I never presented this as scientific fact, nor based on the algorithms. I agree with akavi comment on your post. That has been my experience.

kmcb··on The divorce rate has fallen because the demographics of marriage have changed
Could part of the reason be that online dating pairs people who are more suitable for each other? There are less people just settling, to start a family. Some of those who, in the past, found someone who had just settled for them. May find it more difficult to find someone, willing to do that.

It would be nice, if there was a platform like Kexi that allowed you to make not just desktop apps, but mobile apps that allowed large (>1GB) local storage of data on a phone or tablet.

Filemaker has this for iOS, but not android.

It may exist, but I haven't see it.

This looks useful for military/industrial applications. It doesn't look practical for wide-spread consumer applications, any time soon.
