YAHOO! CREATORS – Dateability, a dating app created for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses, has expanded tenfold across three continents over the past year and recently celebrated its first wedding between two users who met on the platform. The app was founded by sisters Jacqueline and Alexa Child after Jacqueline experienced discrimination and rejection on mainstream dating apps. Dateability removes the need for users to disclose disabilities later in conversations by building the platform specifically around the disabled and chronically ill community. The founders said the app now serves hundreds of thousands of users, with ~7-10% identifying as non-disabled.
