Project Overview

We would like to have a more intentional dating experience (especially long-term dating). Our project was originally wanting to be more open and accessible to all, but we thought starting just with only ASU students would be good given our time restraints. We agree that the dating culture in apps are too hookup oriented and many people have traumatic app experiences, in-person and online.

So we would like to, in the future, set up dating capabilities that serve as a barrier for those who aren’t as emotionally intelligent or knowledgeable about secure relationships. This could be through a test the we create with the input of psychological professionals and integrate staffed psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, and therapists that users can chat, phone, or get assessments through with the intention of bettering their mental healths and getting towards more stable attachments or unlearning cognitive distortions.

We have the forum setup that resembles Reddit for following communities and that displays most recents from users’ followed communities. You can add connections that may or may not be romantic based on users’ preferences.

The problems that we are addressing include lack of mental healthcare and support, dating trauma mitigation, and populations who experience lower birth rates and secure attachments due to sociopolitical factors.

Features

Difference from forum is the dating aspect w/ cards that allow for real-time, direct messaging
Sort of gamey: Each day you can choose 1 from 3 random cards upside down cards to make it flip to have their profile visible. You can choose to send a quick message to a person you would like to match with once you have flipped their card over that day.

I worked on the HTML, creating boilerplate for various pages of the website. I also experimented with using Bootstrap templates and implementing flexbox, although ultimately did not utilize either.

I worked extensively on visual design and content creation, where I used Figma to transform abstract concepts into visually appealing and coherent presentations. This involved not only crafting the aesthetics but also ensuring that the design aligned with the intended messaging and user experience. Through Figma, I was able to collaborate efficiently with other team members, iterate on designs, and deliver polished visual assets that effectively communicated our ideas.

I worked on the backend but didn't have as much experience with the languages used in web and app development, as I am in my first backend course now. I do also have a bit of UI/UX experience from a chronic health app course a few years ago. I also helped with the brainstorming and the READ ME.
