Job ID: 38767923

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I am seeking a skilled mobile developer to create a basic prototype document for an app that connects users based on proximity using Bluetooth technology. The app will feature only core functions to allow a simple trial run of its concept.

Experience Required:

Experience with Bluetooth integrations for mobile apps.
Previous work in mobile development, especially for iOS and/or Android.
Familiarity with building lightweight user profile and proximity-based features.

Exact document requirements:
. Key Features

Proximity Notifications:
Send alerts to users when they come into proximity with others who share similar interests. This will be facilitated through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to identify nearby users without tracking location.

Profile Creation:
Allow users to set up profiles with details like name, photo, interests, and additional categories (e.g., study groups, casual meet-ups). Profiles will include interests to help identify potential matches and categories for specific connection preferences.

Connection Categories:
Offer options like “Study Groups,” “Casual Meet-Ups,” and “Events” to help users filter connections. This allows them to match based on different contexts, supporting a more personalized networking experience.

User Interface:
Implement a streamlined and minimalistic interface for easy navigation, focusing on core functionalities like profile creation, connection alerts, and proximity detection.

2. User Experience Flow (UX)

Onboarding:
Introduce users to the app with a step-by-step onboarding process, including:
Profile setup with relevant interests.
Bluetooth permission prompts for using proximity features.
Main Screen:
Display nearby users with similar interests, proximity-based connection suggestions, and assigned categories.
Show a real-time list of potential matches within Bluetooth range.
Notifications:
A notification page to show recent or nearby matches and past connections.
Manage push notifications for instant alerts on nearby potential matches.
Settings:
Allow users to control visibility, choose categories, and manage notification preferences for proximity alerts.

3. Sketching and Wireframing

Screen Sketches:
Provide rough sketches for each screen:
Onboarding.
Profile creation and interest selection.
Main screen with nearby matches list.
Settings and notification management.
Wireframes:
Use a clean, minimal layout with digital wireframes showing the flow and main navigational elements.
Design should be user-friendly with easy-to-navigate buttons and a smooth layout.
Consider a neutral color palette and modern typography for a polished look.

4. Digital Prototype

Tool Suggestions:
Use tools like Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch for creating interactive prototypes.
Focus on clickable elements to simulate the user journey from onboarding to proximity-based alerts.
Platform Compatibility:
Design the interface for both iOS and Android screen resolutions, ensuring a responsive layout for a web version as well.
