Compass is a **free, open-source platform to help people form deep, meaningful, and lasting connections** — whether platonic, romantic, or collaborative. It’s made possible by contributions from the community, including code, ideas, feedback, and donations. Unlike typical apps, Compass prioritizes **values, interests, and personality over swipes and ads**, giving you full control over who you discover and how you connect.

### Why is the platform called Compass?
10

11
+
We chose the name Compass because our goal is to help people orient themselves toward the connections that matter most — not just romantically, but intellectually, socially, and collaboratively. Just as a compass points you toward true north, this platform is designed to guide you toward people who align with your values, interests, and deeper goals, helping you navigate the complexity of human relationships with more clarity and intention. It’s not about endless swiping or superficial matches; it’s about finding direction and meaning in the connections you build.

Yes. Compass exposes a **public API** for developers who want to build tools, integrations, or visualizations around the platform. The API is fully **documented via Swagger/OpenAPI**, and follows the same transparency principles as the rest of the project:
109
+
110
+
***Open access** to non-sensitive public endpoints
111
+
***Authenticated endpoints** for user-specific or administrative actions
112
+
***Rate-limiting** to protect server stability
113
+
***Versioned** to ensure backward compatibility
114
+
115

You can explore or test the API at [https://api.compassmeet.com](https://api.compassmeet.com). Developers can contribute new endpoints or suggest improvements.
