About The Project

Looking to expand your social circle? RiMatch takes the legwork out of meeting new people. Create a detailed profile highlighting your interests, and our smart algorithm will connect you with compatible matches based on your preferences, including location if you choose. Chat with your matches through text, images, or even voice messages, and see if a spark ignites! The experience is seamless on both web and mobile (iOS and Android) with a user-friendly interface and features like swipe gestures for easy interaction.

Features:

• User Profile Creation:
  • During registration, users enter their name, gender, date of birth, email address, and password.
  • After successful first login, users specify their preferences including desired partner gender, age range, a description of themselves, and a profile picture.
• Messaging:
  • After a successful match the users can receive SMS or email notifications
• Matching Users:
  • An algorithm recommends potential partners based on user preferences.
