Project Overview
The Find A Buddy App is a social platform designed for users to connect with like-minded individuals for shared activities, whether it's watching a movie, playing a sport, or pursuing hobbies. The app enables users to post activities, set preferences for participants, and communicate seamlessly, making it easier for busy individuals to socialize with strangers who share similar interests.
Key Challenges
- Difficulty in Coordinating with Friends: The client often found their friends unavailable for activities like movies or sports.
- Busy Corporate Lifestyle: A demanding schedule left little time for planning social activities with existing connections.
- Need for Socializing with Strangers: The client wanted a solution to connect with people who share similar tastes and interests as their immediate social circle might not always be available.
Our Solutions
- Activity Posting: Developed a feature allowing users to create posts for activities they are interested in, specifying the time, location, and type of activity.
- Demographic-Based Invites: Implemented filters for users to invite participants based on preferences such as age, gender, and shared interests (e.g., sports, movies).
- Real-Time Notifications and Communication: Enabled real-time notifications for invited users to accept/reject invites and for activity owners to see responses and message participants directly within the app.
- Streamlined Social Engagement: Designed the app to bridge the gap between busy schedules and the need to socialize, making it easier for users to connect with strangers who share similar interests.
