This application will allow the user to create a profile in which they can express their preferences, hobbies, and interests. It will then take these parameters into consideration and find compatible matches that fit the user’s criteria. In comparison to other dating websites in the market, the algorithm designed for this application will have a strong focus on prioritizing the hobbies and interests of the user. This software is intended to help facilitate individuals who are seeking intimate as well as platonic relationships..
The following stakeholders have been identified:

The product vision of our web application is to facilitate creating long lasting and meaningful relationships with others who share similar interests and hobbies. This would be accomplished by creating an interface that allows users to express themselves and find others who share a similar passion in life. An algorithm that is able to calculate how compatible individuals are and show those who pass a specific threshold to the user would need to be implemented. Finally, a messaging application would be needed to allow the user to communicate with their matches.
Our vision is to provide a service where people can express and celebrate their hobbies with other individuals who share similar passions. We want to be able to allow our users to create meaningful bonds that will last a lifetime.
