Meet Bryson, a startup founder from Los Angeles

Bryson — and from Los Angeles. He has been launching his startups for three years already. In each, he faces long MVP development.

The idea of a startup

Bryson came to us to develop MVP for his, Twiin. He has been managing it for one year.
The of Twiin — select the place for two people to meet, taking into account the interests of both. It can be a date or a meeting.

When 2-people meetings, choose the place both will like. All people have different interests. For example, she likes cafes and bars, but he enjoys surfing and active sport. But they have common interests as well. The point is to find these common interests and show meeting places according to them.

It should work like Spotify, where you can make a list that you and your partner like both
App for selecting places have very simular logic with Spotify

Client’s requirements for no code development

  1. Users can choose their interests
  2. Users can find each other in the app and match
  3. Matched users can choose their moods, preferred city, and cost range of the place and get a list of places that fits both of them.
  4. Users can see the info card of the place and schedule the meeting
  5. Users can be matched with multiple partners
  6. Users can see places on the map
At the 1st meeting, I didn't imagine how we would do it with this logic with no code stack, but we were sure we would find a solution.

Bryson already had a clickable prototype and 2600 users waiting for the MVP release when we started to work. Bryson has already made the first tests with the prototype, and users liked it.

Result. Let's learn user flow and features!

After two weeks, we’ve developed the whole app with all functionality and design.
Without any line of code. We used Adalo for that.

You can explore the app yourself or read about the user flow and features below.

1) Registration and onboarding in the app

User registers in the app and goes to onboarding

2) Choosing interests and place selection

Then the user chooses his interests and goes to the main screen with places selected by his interests (for now, only selection for him). Here users can go to each place. Users also can choose the option to map viewing.

3) Selection places by choosing city, mood, budget

Then the user can go to the "Partner quiz" section. Here user first should find his partner in the app. If the partner is not in the app yet, the user can send him a message with a registration link. After matching with the partner user chooses the preferred city, mood, vibe, and budget. And then waits for the partner's choice. Partner will be notified that he should choose his interests.

4) Partner chooses his preferences, and both users get a list of the places according to their selections

Partner gets a push notification and goes to the app. Then we will see the request and should set his preferences. After that, both of the users get their place selections. Users can explore each place and schedule an event.

About the process of development TWIINE on Adalo:

All flow of no-code development in Adalo was pretty good. It was easy to develop most of the features. But we struggled with the place selection logic.
It was hard to understand how to build the proper database and filter places according to the choice of both partners. Adalo has limitations in multiselection filters. You can make a multiselection filter only with one parameter. We solved this problem with some tricks in the database settings.
