Rendlr is an online dating platform designed to unite individuals seeking to find their soulmate. Our mission is to help users achieve their relationship goals while providing an entertaining and engaging experience on the platform.

As the sole product designer for this project, I collaborated closely with the engineering team to ensure that my designs were feasible and that the features were implementable in code.

In previous years, dating apps have primarily served as platforms to help people meet potential partners. The concept was simple and straightforward. However, what if we could enhance user engagement by introducing features that keep users entertained and coming back for more? To achieve this, we focused on the following key aspects:

Engagement: How can we engage and entertain users by providing them with diverse features to find their possible match?

Earning: How can we enable our users to earn money while having fun on the platform?

User Experience: How can we ensure a seamless and enjoyable user experience for easy navigation throughout the app?

Generate Revenue: Develop and optimize monetization strategies, such as premium subscriptions, in-app purchases, and advertising. This will help ensure the app's financial sustainability and support further development and marketing efforts.

Expand User Base: Grow the app's user base by targeting specific demographics and regions, utilizing marketing campaigns, partnerships, and referral programs. A larger user base increases the likelihood of matches and enhances the overall user experience.

I conducted extensive qualitative and quantitative research on competitors such as Tinder, Bumble, and Badoo to identify the problems users are facing and to explore how we can improve these aspects in our app.

Conducted one-on-one interviews with a few colleagues who use Tinder.

Sent out survey questions to individuals using other dating apps, whom I found online.

Based on my interviews and research, I was able to gain a clear understanding of our ideal users who will benefit the most from our app.

I love to start by putting my ideas on paper before gradually moving them to the screen. This process helps me ideate all possible scenarios and enables me to achieve the best results. I enjoy sketching out different screens and creating wireframes to visualize the user experience.

My user flow method focuses on creating seamless, step-by-step processes that guide users from start to finish without deviation. I prefer an inline flow that ensures users move smoothly from one step to the next, avoiding unnecessary "if" scenarios.

Users should be able to create an account or login into the app seamlessly.

During the account setup, users are required to choose their preferred settings and door choice.

The main navigation screens are Home, Timeline, Meet, Chat and profile

As one of the feature meant to engage users. We are introducing to users the knock feature.

Users swaps through doors which has users profile, name and status.

User can tripple tape on a door to notify a users that they like them. a notification is sent to knocked users. when they get a notification, they can choose to accept the knock or reject. (You cant view a susers profile if they don`t accept your knock

This feature is meant to help the algorithm match potential partners together base on there preferences and choses on the survey. The survey is meant to ask them romantic and dating-wise questions and get there feedbaks to match them with other partners with same choices

This feature presented a great challenge. Its purpose is to initiate a timed chat, which the system sets up automatically. The idea is for the system to connect individuals with similar interests and prompt them to engage in a timed chat to see if they can match based on their responses.

Gathering and analyzing user feedback is crucial for understanding user needs and pain points. This feedback guided the design and development process, ensuring that the app met user expectations and provided a valuable experience.

With my experience in front end development and Collaborating closely with engineers helped ensure that designs were not only visually appealing but also technically feasible. This balance is essential for creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing product.

Implementing features that keep users entertained and engaged is vital for the success of a dating app. By focusing on user engagement, you learned how to create a platform that encourages users to interact more and stay active on the app.
