SznLuv
SznLuv is a seasonal discovery mobile application designed specifically for Vancouver couples. The app solves the everyday question of "what should we do today?" by providing curated date ideas based on the current season and weather, allowing users to save their favourites for later.
Concept & Research
Identified the core problem couples face when planning dates, especially with Vancouver's seasonal weather. Researched existing solutions and found a gap in location-aware, weather-responsive recommendations.
Design & Prototyping
Created wireframes and high-fidelity mockups in Figma, using Miro for brainstorming sessions. Focused on a clean, intuitive interface that feels native to both iOS and Android.
Technical Development
Built the application using React Native and JavaScript, leveraging the Expo SDK for rapid prototyping, efficient build processes, and cross-platform compatibility.
API Integration
Integrated external map services for location-based discovery alongside weather APIs to suggest activities appropriate for the current forecast, delivering real-time value to users.
Map-Based Discovery
Location-detail flows let users visually explore date spots in their vicinity. Tap any pin to dive into specifics, see photos, and get directions instantly.
Privacy-First Onboarding
A streamlined sign-in flow that prioritizes user privacy while reducing initial friction. The design led to higher conversion rates during prototype testing.
Saves & Collections
A robust "Favorites" system allowing couples to curate their own lists of seasonal activities. Save spots you want to try and revisit them anytime.
