Project Aim
The Tinder-Like App aims to create a secure and engaging environment for Arabic (Muslim) people to connect and build meaningful relationships. Unlike casual dating apps, this platform focuses on serious engagements, providing features that cater to the needs of the community.
My Role
As a Full Stack Developer, I was responsible for implementing the user interface using React Native. I also contributed to the backend, particularly in managing web sockets with Redis for real-time chatting. Working alongside another team member, we ensured the app's performance and reliability to handle high user concurrency.
Description & Technologies
The app was developed using Node.js and React Native, incorporating several advanced features to ensure a seamless user experience. Key aspects of the app include:
- ID Verification: Ensures the authenticity of users and enhances security.
- Smooth UI and Animations: Provides an intuitive and visually appealing interface.
- Real-time Chatting: Implemented using web sockets, built from scratch without additional modules.
- Monitoring: Features to ensure the platform is safe and well-moderated.
- High Performance: Designed to support a large number of concurrent users efficiently.
Outcome
Although the project did not go live, it successfully demonstrated the potential for a high-performance engagement app tailored for the Arabic community. The app's smooth UI, robust real-time chatting capabilities, and secure environment showcased the feasibility of such a platform.
