Ally is a location-based social networking app that helps people discover and connect with others nearby. Users wave to say hi, and a meet-up only opens up when the interest is mutual, so nobody is approached without consent.
Highlights
- Map-based discovery of people nearby.
- Mutual-wave matching before chat and meet-ups.
- Real-time notifications through web push and Firebase.
- Background jobs and caching on Redis for a responsive feed.
- A React web app, a React Native (Expo) mobile app and a Next.js waitlist site, sharing one typed API.
