Ang Disenyo

Tungkol sa Splash Social Networking Application

Ang Splash ay isang social networking application na nilikha upang tulungan ang mga estudyante sa kolehiyo na makilala ang mga bagong kaibigan nang personal. Nagpaparehistro ang mga user gamit ang numero ng telepono at nakikita ang mga paparating na kaganapan sa home page. Isang click lamang para sumali sa isang kaganapan, at maaaring gumawa ng bagong meetup sa loob lamang ng ilang segundo. Ang pagtutugma ay batay sa oras, lokasyon, at magkakatuwang na interes. Ang mga second degree connection at pribadong pagpapalitan ng numero ng telepono ay sumusuporta sa tiwala at kaligtasan. Ang mga paalala ay naghihikayat ng pagdalo. Ang Splash ay binuo para sa iOS at Android at inaalis ang mga hadlang sa gastos at oras sa pakikisalamuha sa loob ng kampus.

Teknolohiya sa Produksyon: 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.
Hamon sa Disenyo: 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.
