ActivityDate: Dating meets activities
A Ruby on Rails dating platform where people connect through shared activities: event-based matching and activity planning.
The idea
ActivityDate is one of the first online dating services to merge dating with activities. The platform lets users meet under relaxed circumstances: gala dinners, dance, travel, sports, sightseeing, culture, and business. A natural way to get to know each other that encourages an open and honest approach.
What we built
We developed ActivityDate from scratch using Ruby on Rails, incorporating features over several months.
- Profile management Users register and complete profiles, with notifications ensuring profiles are genuine and fully filled out
- Interest-based search Advanced search based on user interests and profile information to find compatible partners
- Activity-based matching Users discover activities and connect through shared interests
- Global event organization ActivityDate organizes gala events worldwide, with users finding dating prospects as travel companions or meeting people in their hometowns
The result
A dating experience that feels more natural: meeting through shared activities rather than profile swiping. Comprehensive profile management and interest-based search enhanced user interactions. The organization of global events added a unique dimension to online dating, offering members opportunities to meet in person under enjoyable circumstances.
