1. Introduction 2. Contents 3. Conclusion
In the previous Personal App Development Diary # 2, I mentioned the reason why I wanted to develop this app.
And this time of the third article, "Friend matching app" that I am currently making Compare existing apps! The reason is that we are also considering releasing it in the future, so Although I made it with much effort, "Is this not similar to XX?" "What is different from XX?" I don't want to be unfortunate.
However, there are still many points that are not easy to squeeze, but I intend to make it while trying to differentiate myself. I will also post it to organize my thoughts.
First, I tried to make an existing application into a simple matrix with four perspectives: friends, others, 1: 1, and 1: n.
| friend | others | |
|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | chat(LINE, WeChat, Snapchat) | matching(Tinder, Pairs, with,Tupple) |
| 1:n | SNS(Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) | media(YouTube, TikTok, SHOWROOM |
LINE open chat, Twitter hobbies, Instagram and Facebook DM / If you include messenger etc., it will be more subdivided, but Roughly speaking, it can be roughly divided as described above.
My friend matching app is 1: 1 and targets others, so it belongs to the matching system. However, I feel that the existing matching system has a lot of love / marriage activities, such as swiping to select a preference with a face photo. I wrote the concept of "making connections closer" in the previous article, but to the last, age, place of origin, Mainly search by item such as blood type or hashtag search.
Also, since "people who want friends but are not blessed with the opportunity to make" are set as personas, friends and chat partners Imagine using it for searching. However, the friend matching app itself naturally has a lead. (Swipe with a face photo with the app name "Tantan" is the same as Tinder), Matching App World Champion Tinder is also expanding its base from the original love affairs to matching lifestyles in general, so I would like to keep an eye on the movement in pursuit of originality.
I am a beginner because it is my first time to create an application, but even with detailed implementation of the contents, I am conscious of taking a proper bird's-eye view of the entire app so that the field of view does not become too narrow!
