Splash Sare Sozialetako Aplikazioa Diseinuari Buruz

Splash unibertsitateko ikasleei aurrez aurre lagun berriak egiten laguntzeko sortutako sare sozialetako aplikazio bat da. Erabiltzaileek telefono-zenbaki batekin izena ematen dute eta hasierako orrian datozen ekitaldiak ikusten dituzte. Klik bakar batez ekitaldi batera batu daitezke, eta topaketa berriak segundo gutxian sortu daitezke. Bat-egitea denboran, kokapenean eta partekatutako interesetan oinarritzen da. Bigarren mailako konexioek eta telefono-zenbaki pribatuen trukeak konfiantza eta segurtasuna bermatzen dute. Gogorarazpenek parte-hartzea sustatzen dute. Splash iOS eta Android sistemetarako garatua dago, eta unibertsitate-eremuan gizarteratzeko kostu- eta denbora-oztopoak desagerrarazten ditu.

Produkzio Teknologia: 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.
Diseinu Erronka: 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.
