Rank Based Dating App -- 2

**Rank-Based Dating App Development** **Project Overview:** We are developing a unique dating app that uses a ranking system to match users based on attractiveness. The app will have a detailed user profile creation process, a rating mechanism where users rate the attractiveness of other users, and a matching algorithm that pairs users within similar attractiveness ranges. The goal is to create an engaging, user-friendly platform that encourages continuous interaction and provides accurate match recommendations. **Key Features and Functionalities:** 1. **User Registration and Profile Creation:** - Users can sign up using email, social media, or phone number. - Detailed profile creation with personal information, interests, and multiple photo uploads. - Profile information includes fields such as name, age, location, bio, and preferences. 2. **Rating System:** - Users are shown images of two users of the opposite gender and must choose the more attractive one. - This process contributes to the attractiveness score of the rated users. - The rating page is designed to be simple and engaging, encouraging users to rate more profiles. 3. **Matching Algorithm:** - Matches are recommended based on users' attractiveness scores, pairing them with others in a similar range. - Users need to rate a certain number of profiles to unlock more matches. - The algorithm should be dynamic, continuously updating as more data is collected. 4. **User Interactions:** - Users can like profiles, send messages, and interact with their matches. - Messaging features include text, emojis, and possibly multimedia sharing. - Special interaction features for higher-ranked users (e.g., more visibility, access to exclusive features). 5. **Safety and Privacy:** - Strong data encryption and compliance with data protection regulations. - Tools for reporting and blocking users, and a moderation system to handle inappropriate behavior. 6. **Technical Requirements:** - Cross-platform development for iOS and Android using React Native. - Backend development using Node.js with Express, and MongoDB for the database. - Cloud hosting and storage solutions, preferably AWS or Google Cloud. **App Flow:** 1. **Login/Sign Up Page:** - Simple and intuitive sign-up process with multiple authentication options. 2. **Profile Creation Page:** - A multi-step form for entering personal information and uploading photos. 3. **Rating Page:** - A swipe-based interface showing two user photos, with left/right swipe or button clicks for rating. 4. **Match Recommendation Page:** - List of recommended matches based on attractiveness scores, with profile previews. 5. **Messaging Interface:** - A chat interface for matched users, supporting text and multimedia messages. 6. **Settings and Feedback:** - User settings for account management, privacy controls, and feedback submission. **Additional Information:** - The app should have a modern, visually appealing design that enhances user experience. - Scalability is crucial, as we anticipate a growing user base. - Regular updates and maintenance post-launch to ensure smooth operation and incorporate user feedback. **Ideal Candidate:** We are looking for an experienced developer or development team with a strong background in mobile app development. Familiarity with matchmaking algorithms, user engagement strategies, and secure data handling is essential. The ideal candidate should also have experience with cloud services and a portfolio of similar projects.
