01 — Challenge

Students struggle to find study partners taking the same course, nearby and available at the same time. Existing tools (WhatsApp groups, Facebook) are unorganized and don't scale.

02 — Approach

Built from scratch as an owned product. Started with user research among students, then mapped out the architecture (matching algorithm, real-time chat, geolocation). Chose React Native for cross-platform reach. Built a swipe interface for low-friction interaction, with direct chat when two students match.

03 — Result

A fully functional MVP with matching based on course, location and availability. Real-time chat via WebSockets. Ready for app store launch.
