Product Design and Build for a Social Discovery App

About Meetlyr

Meetlyr is a social discovery app designed to help people meet new people in real life through genuine, pressure-free social meetups such as coffee, drinks, or shared activities. Unlike traditional swiping-style apps, Meetlyr focuses on real conversations by pairing users based on shared interests, location, and preferences into small group meetups within welcoming public spaces

What we did

Meetlyr needed a site that could explain something people had not seen before: real meetups, without the pressure of a dating app or the transactional feel of a networking event. The job was to make that legible in the first screen, then let an interested visitor sign up without reading a manifesto first.

We designed and built it around the mechanics rather than the pitch: how onboarding works, how the matching picks people, what actually happens at a meetup. Interest-based matching, venue suggestions and small groups are shown rather than described, because the reassurance somebody needs before meeting strangers is knowing in advance how the evening is going to go.

The result is a site that carries the product's tone and answers the safety question before a visitor has to ask it, in the markets Meetlyr runs in now and the cities it is opening next.
