Teosest Splash Sotsiaalvõrgustiku rakendus

Splash on sotsiaalvõrgustiku rakendus, mis on loodud aitama üliõpilastel leida uusi sõpru päriselus kohtudes. Kasutajad registreeruvad telefoninumbriga ja näevad avalehel eelseisvaid üritusi. Ühe klõpsuga saab liituda üritusega ning uusi kohtumisi saab luua sekunditega. Sobitamine põhineb ajal, asukohal ja ühistel huvidel. Teise astme kontaktid ja privaatne telefoninumbrite vahetus toetavad usaldust ja turvalisust. Meeldetuletused julgustavad osalema. Splash on ehitatud iOS-i ja Androidi jaoks ning kõrvaldab kampuse suhtluse takistavad kulu- ja ajabarjäärid.

Tootmistehnoloogia: Splash was built using Swift for iOS development with a Firebase backend for real-time event matching and authentication. We employed React Native for cross-platform scalability, leveraging Google Cloud Functions for instant event processing. The UI was crafted using Figma, focusing on minimalistic yet engaging interaction flows. Our design methodology followed Lean UX and rapid prototyping, allowing for iterative user testing and agile improvements.
Disainiülesanne: The biggest challenge was balancing spontaneity with user safety and trust. Unlike traditional networking apps, Splash required instant but meaningful social matching, ensuring low drop-off rates while maintaining a seamless UX. We tackled this by leveraging second-degree connections for social proof, implementing privacy-first phone exchange, and designing a minimal-input event creation process. Rapid iteration and real-world testing allowed us to optimize engagement.

Inspiratsioon: Splash was inspired by the struggle of making real-life friends on campus without investing excessive time or money. We saw a gap—students craved spontaneous, effortless social interactions. Drawing from Uber’s instant matching model, we designed Splash to remove the friction in meeting new people. Our research included a 500-person CMU survey and 100+ user interviews, refining our MVP for real-world needs. With fast iterations and data-driven UX, we built a seamless, intuitive experience.
