Product Design and Build for a Social Discovery App

About Meetlyr

Meetlyr is a social discovery app for meeting new people in real life. It groups people by shared interests, location and preferences. Then it puts them together in small groups for coffee, drinks or an activity, in a public place.

The challenge

Meetlyr is a new idea, so visitors don't know what to expect. Many assume it is a dating app or a networking event. And before anyone agrees to meet strangers, they want to know how the evening will go.

What we did

We designed the product experience and built the website, with WordPress and React.

The site shows how Meetlyr works, step by step: signing up, how the matching picks your group, and what happens at a meetup. Interest matching, venue suggestions and small groups are shown visually. A visitor can see how the evening will go before they sign up, and that answers the safety question too.

The first screen explains the whole idea, so a visitor can sign up without reading further.
