dinkzs

dinkzs provides the easiest way for people who play Pickleball to find new friends in their area to play with.

It offers a simple "Pass/Match" home page where users can choose to match with people that they think would be a good person to play.

It encourages users to use the app to meet new friends that have the same interest in the game of Pickleball. In Short: Pickleball matching made easy. If two users match with each other, they can then message each other and set up a Pickleball match locally.

dinkzs' core functionality is based on approximate location services, showing users on the home feed based on the users location selection. This can be changed as frequently as a user would like, so they can find people when they are in different cities for vacation, work travel, etc.

dinkzs also offers a "couples mode" with an easy toggle button between modes, where the user can view other "couples" profile cards. A user will only be able to see any other couples cards on the feed if they are part of a couple, themselves - which is done by requesting one of your existing friends to be part of a couple via their profile page. The goal of this mode is to get couples who live locally out more and meeting new friends over the common interest of Pickleball. This mode offers a unique way to fill a gap that many couples have where they don't otherwise know how to get out into the community to meet new people.

Overall, dinkzs has 2 core functionalities; solo mode and couples mode, with the location being the primary mechanism by which each one works. Users can also view their friends profiles, edit their own profile, and message friends that they've matched with. The app does not function as a court finder, or a tournament/game organizer.
