O dizajnu Splash Društvena mrežna aplikacija

Splash je aplikacija za društveno umrežavanje kreirana kako bi pomogla studentima da upoznaju nove prijatelje uživo. Korisnici se registruju putem broja telefona i vide predstojeće događaje na početnoj stranici. Jednim klikom se pridružuju događaju, a novi susreti se mogu kreirati u nekoliko sekundi. Uparivanje se zasniva na vremenu, lokaciji i zajedničkim interesima. Veze drugog stepena i privatna razmjena brojeva telefona podržavaju povjerenje i sigurnost. Podsjetnici podstiču prisustvo. Splash je razvijen za iOS i Android platforme i uklanja prepreke troškova i vremena za druženje na kampusu.
