Project Brief: Social Connection App (Phase 1 Build) I’m looking for a developer to create the base version of a social connection app designed to foster meaningful 1-on-1 conversations between users who share similar interests or experiences. The app will eventually expand into a broader community platform, but the first phase focuses on building the chat and connection foundation. Core Features for Phase 1: • Seamless 1-on-1 chat system with smooth UI and minimal design. • Matching logic that pairs users based on shared tags, topics, or experiences. • Profile setup with limited visible details — focus is on conversation, not identity. • Customizable chat themes or tone settings for personalization. • Privacy-conscious data structure (no unnecessary personal info). • Architecture designed to support future AI and community expansion features. Technical Expectations: • The project must be developed entirely within my provided workspace and accounts. • No personal servers, third-party logins, or developer-owned databases allowed. • Code and workflows must be clearly documented for easy future development. • Deliverables include a functional prototype and a recorded walkthrough of logic and setup. Deliverables: • Working prototype with chat and matching functionality. • Basic admin dashboard for system overview (no personal data access). • Full source handover and assistance with setup after completion.
