Development of a Community Connection Mobile App for Local Group Formation

A growing community of individuals seeks an efficient way to discover and join local groups of interest, but lacks a dedicated digital platform to connect geographically proximal members interested in the same activities, leading to fragmented social interactions and missed opportunities for community building.

A tech startup aiming to facilitate localized social interactions by connecting groups of people within the same area based on shared interests.

• Deliver a fully functional mobile application compatible with both Android and iOS platforms within 3 months.
• Enable users to create, discover, and join local interest-based groups seamlessly.
• Implement location-based features to connect users within the same area efficiently.
• Ensure user engagement metrics such as active usage and group joins are optimized post-launch.
• Facilitate scalable deployment to handle increasing user growth and geographical spread.

• User registration, login, and profile management with personalization options.
• Geolocation integration to identify user location and suggest nearby groups.
• Search and filter functionality for discovering groups by interests, size, and location.
• Group creation tool with moderation and privacy controls.

• Social media login and sharing platforms.
• Analytics tools for monitoring app usage and engagement.

• App should load within 2 seconds under typical network conditions.
