SquaDD - Local Social Media App

https://www.closefuture.io/casestudy/squadd

SquaDD is a social media app that connects people locally and globally through posts, chats, groups, events, and business features. Users can share updates, join discussions, create groups, host events, promote businesses, and buy or sell products—free or at fixed prices. With location-based visibility and customizable privacy settings, SquaDD blends local community engagement with global connections.

Most social platforms focus on either global networking or local communities, but rarely combine both. They also lack all-in-one tools for group collaboration, event management, business promotion, and marketplace transactions. This leaves users with fragmented experiences, poor location-based discovery, and limited ways to build meaningful connections. The goal was to create a single, feature-rich platform where people can connect, share, and grow—locally and globally—for both personal and business needs.

SquaDD solves these problems with an all-in-one platform for posting, chatting, creating groups, hosting events, promoting businesses, and selling products—powered by location awareness. Content visibility adapts to a user’s proximity, making it easy to connect with both local communities and global audiences. With simple onboarding, personalized feeds, and real-time interactions, SquaDD helps users build authentic connections—whether joining groups, promoting a business, attending events, or sharing updates.

A flexible location engine powers the app’s core features, allowing users to filter and view posts, events, groups, and products based on proximity—from neighborhoods to regional and global levels. This location-based filtering ensures users see what matters most around them while still staying connected with broader communities.

SquaDD includes a unified search system that allows users to discover content across posts, people, groups, events, business pages, and marketplace listings. Smart filters and keyword matching enhance discovery and streamline the user journey.

Sellers can choose to restrict product visibility to their nearby area, fostering trust and quicker transactions. Buyers can browse items within walking distance, making SquaDD a community-first alternative to traditional marketplaces.

Entrepreneurs and organizations can build branded business pages to promote their offerings, post updates, launch events, and sell products. This gives local and global businesses a platform to grow their audience and engage directly with the community.

SquaDD helps users grow personal and professional networks in one platform. With real-time interactions, location-based discovery, and features like groups, events, business pages, and marketplaces, it creates an engaging community experience. Users gain more visibility, stronger local connections, and easier promotion for their businesses and products. Its intuitive design and seamless integration drive high engagement, retention, and adoption across local and global communities.
