MELODOCATION
Here is the app panel map in prototype mode on Figma. All paths to and from each screen.
A matching and swiping feature will be the center of making one-on-one connections through the app. Users can decide whether or not they would like to further a connection with another user. Decisions must be mutual, both users must swipe left in order for a match to be made.
After a match is made, users can use an individual chatting feature to facilitate meet ups with their counterpart and collaborate.
In this day of age building a personal community is becoming exceedingly difficult and it is definitely more difficult than it used to be. In the music industry, people have long relied on word of mouth to make connections.
​
Melodocation is an easy-to-use mobile platform that introduces musicians to musicians, and music industry personnel to other individuals in related fields.
