Bisq exists, I've been using it for years to obtain Bitcoin and Monero for DNM stuff, it's pretty okay. I did prefer LocalMonero for swapping, before they shut down.
Lately Bisq's been going through some bullshit, a few months ago they had a security issue and they shut the whole network down by setting it to require a version of the software that didn't exist for weeks, and lately they've been requiring mandatory updates every week or so. It does work by having you make money transfers to total strangers, revealing your full details, but it's the best I've found.
IIRC, Bisq 2 is for buying your very first BTC in small amounts at a premium (a Matrix chatroom still also exists for this), Bisq 1 is for buying larger amounts at closer to cost but requires a security deposit first.
