Challenges & Solutions
Combating Social Loneliness
CHALLENGE
Many young adults struggle with loneliness and finding meaningful social connections in urban environments.
SOLUTION
Created an algorithm that matches people based on interests, proximity, and availability while maintaining a casual, low-pressure environment for social interactions.
Spontaneous Event Coordination
CHALLENGE
Traditional event planning is too formal and time-consuming for spontaneous social activities.
SOLUTION
Built a 'chaos vibe' system that allows for quick event creation, instant joining, and flexible participation with minimal commitment barriers.
Cultural Adaptation for Turkey
CHALLENGE
International social platforms don't account for Turkish social customs, timing preferences, and activity types.
SOLUTION
Designed platform features specifically for Turkish users including local activity preferences, cultural timing norms, and language-specific social interaction patterns.

Results & Impact
What I'd Do Differently
Reflecting on this project, I would focus more on user feedback loops earlier in the development process to better align features with user needs. Additionally, I would allocate more time for performance optimization and scalability planning from the outset to ensure the application can handle growth smoothly.
