The Vision

The client had a vision for a new social mobile app that would connect new friends based on their common values. With the world facing a global pandemic and lockdowns enforced around the globe, the need to solve loneliness had never been more pressing.

The Problem

The challenge was to create a unique solution that would connect people based on their core values, and to do so quickly. Nordstone’s Design Team used the latest design-thinking techniques to craft the UI/UX mobile app designs from scratch. Using our 7-step process for building new products, which includes visioning, scoping, designing, developing, testing, launching, and iterating. We were able to develop a scalable full stack iOS & Android mobile app using machine learning to interpret the user’s core values and connect new friends based on these values. This required integrating over 20 third-party APIs and building 5 proprietary APIs from scratch. All of this was done in under 10 weeks.

The Outcome

The outcome of this project was a resounding success. The app passed the elusive product market fit just 6 months after launch and has scaled worldwide to 70+ countries. The app received a 4.7* rating in the Google Play Store. Nordstone stayed on with the client after launch with ongoing feature development and iterations.

This case study showcases Nordstone’s ability to take a client’s vision and turn it into a successful product that solves a problem, in this case loneliness, by connecting people based on their common values.
