Welcome to our project: Icebreakrr, an application designed to facilitate first "in real life" contacts between people. We are a team of seven students carrying out this project as part of the "CS-311: The Software Enterprise" EPFL course. We are not accepting external collaborators at the moment.
Icebreakrr uses the location of the phone to allow people in close proximity to discover each other and meet in real life. Each user creates a profile based on a photo, a catchphrase, a brief description and a few relevant tags, then shares it with all nearby users. By sharing profiles with nearby users, people can identify common interests, break the ice, and initiate conversations more naturally.
- Account Creation & Multi-Device Sync: Create an account for seamless access across multiple devices.
- Nearby User Discovery: Find profiles of people in vicinity using real-time location data.
- Profile Filtering: Sort and filter profiles based on tags, interests, or other parameters to find relevant matches.
- Meet-up Requests: Ask for a meet-up via the app’s meeting request feature.
- Offline Mode: Profiles can be saved manually or automatically (last seen) so they can be accessed even when offline
- Privacy Controls:
- Toggle location services on or off to control when the user is discoverable.
- Set custom discoverability filters (e.g., limit who can see the user's profile based on age, interests, or other factors).
