Individual supporters

Help Parent Love Link reach a responsible private Alpha.

Parent Love Link is a social-first dating community being built for single parents. Individual support can help close the gap between a functioning custom platform and a safe, tested, locally supported launch.

What is being built

A place where single parents can be known before they are judged.

Parent Love Link combines detailed profiles, shared interests, Community activity, events, Common Ground explanations, thoughtful Introductions, and accepted conversations. The goal is familiarity and context—not endless swiping or paid access to another person’s attention.

The product is owned and operated by SolarSoft Media, LLC. It is a for-profit business, not a charity. Individual support is not represented as tax-deductible and does not purchase ownership or financial returns.

Core product rule

Anything required to safely find, evaluate, contact, and continue talking with another member stays free. Optional products may express personality, appreciation, support, or exclusivity without changing another member’s boundaries.

Current development stage

The platform exists. The next milestone is evidence.

Custom platform

A working PHP/PDO/MySQL application, not a concept-only campaign or no-code mockup.

Controlled access

Public waitlist, invitation-only registration, and administrator-controlled internal regression testing.

Core journey

Profiles, Community Feed, Introductions, conversations, blocking, reporting, and tester operations.

Local Alpha

The first outside cohort is planned near Deltona and Volusia County, beginning with 5–10 invited testers.

What happens before invitations expand

The current work is a connected regression pass followed by Discover/Common Ground, notification coordination, safety completion, security hardening, Alpha operations, mobile/accessibility/performance testing, and final launch setup.

Responsible use of support

Support would fund the work between “built” and “ready.”

PriorityExamplesWhy it matters
Security and privacySecurity review, session hardening, rate limits, backup restoration, incident preparationDating profiles, messages, reports, and location data require stronger protection than an ordinary brochure site.
Safety and moderationReport workflows, message-level evidence, appeals, scam warnings, manual image reviewA free messaging platform must be able to respond when someone crosses a boundary.
Accessibility and QAPhone/tablet/desktop testing, keyboard access, contrast, performance, hosted-device verificationA member should not lose access to safety controls because of screen size, disability, or a fragile layout.
Alpha operationsTester support, issue tracking, local orientation, moderation coverage, weekly recognitionA small cohort only produces useful evidence when defects and safety concerns receive a response.
Professional readinessLegal/privacy review, insurance quotes, business documentation, service-provider underwritingPublic promises should match the software, policies, staffing, and financial infrastructure that actually exist.

Public budget figures are planning estimates rather than vendor quotes. Actual spending should be documented through business records and updated materials.

What support may provide

  • Progress toward a safer private Alpha
  • Public changelog updates and revised supporter documents
  • Possible general recognition when clearly offered and accepted
  • A way to help an independent product reach its next evidence milestone

What support never buys

  • Private member information or dating activity
  • Access to another person’s attention or inbox
  • Better Discover placement, trust badges, or moderation treatment
  • Ownership, returns, revenue share, or tax benefits
  • Influence over member boundaries or safety decisions

Payment processing

No payment link will be activated without explicit processor approval.

Current status: processor review

Online support payments are not active while payment-provider underwriting is reviewed. Parent Love Link will publish a hosted payment link only after a provider explicitly approves the actual dating and fundraising business model.

Online dating is commonly treated as a restricted or high-risk business category. Parent Love Link will not disguise its business model, route payments through an unrelated account, or publish a checkout link before the processor has approved the actual use.

Supporter FAQ

Questions people should ask before contributing.

No tax deduction is promised. Parent Love Link is operated by SolarSoft Media, LLC., a for-profit business.

No. Alpha and beta access are controlled through invitation, eligibility, safety, cohort balance, and testing needs—not payment.

The processor must explicitly approve the real dating and fundraising business model. A hosted support link will appear only after that review and after refund, privacy, and recordkeeping requirements are ready.

Use the public changelog, current planning documents, revised business plans, and future Alpha evidence. Security-sensitive details and private tester information will remain confidential.
