  • Smart matching based on interests, location, age, and preferences

The Challenge

The team behind WithMe wanted to create a modern social app that made it easier for people to connect in real life—not just online.

They needed a solution that could:

✅ Match users based on shared interests, preferences, and proximity
✅ Offer a seamless experience across iOS, Android, and web
✅ Enable real-time chat and smart notifications
✅ Ensure secure, fast user authentication with phone OTP

Existing social platforms were too broad, passive, or impersonal. The challenge? Build a niche, user-friendly platform that encourages real-world connections—without the noise.

The Process

  • Designed and developed a cross-platform app using Flutter

  • Built a matching algorithm based on shared interests and location proximity

  • Integrated real-time chat with persistent message history

  • Set up OTP-based authentication using Firebase Auth

  • Customized UI with Material Design 3 and Google Fonts

  • Integrated push notifications via OneSignal

  • Enabled analytics, crash reporting, and real-time error monitoring

  • Deployed to iOS, Android, and web for maximum reach

The Solution

We developed a smart, cross-platform app that:

✅ Matches users using filters like interest, age, gender, and location
✅ Delivers a seamless experience across devices with Flutter
✅ Enables real-time messaging and push notifications
✅ Secures login through phone number OTP authentication
✅ Offers modern, intuitive design for better engagement and usability

The Impact
