About the project

Gatherzap is an impromptu social meetup app designed to help users casually connect for social gatherings. Other social meetup apps require scheduling meetups formally with advance notice, while Gatherzap focuses on what's happening in the area right now.

With loneliness and depression on the rise in what's referred to as a global mental health crisis, people need real in-person social interaction now more than ever. Gatherzap offers a nice, low-commitment solution to help get people out of the house again.

What is the goal of the project?

To design, develop, test, and deploy Gatherzap.

Prototype designed in Figma.
