Chapter 1

What the client needed

The app grew out of the Bamboo Club community. People who moved to a new city, went freelance or are between jobs want to meet people nearby with a good reason to meet, without scrolling another feed.

Chapter 2

What we built

  1. Matching with nearby people by what you share, with the reason for each introduction

  2. Choosing the life chapter you are in now, such as a move or going freelance

  3. Inviting someone to a one-on-one or a small meetup close to home

  4. Rounded location that no other user sees, used only to compute distance

  5. Community questions and answers by topic

  6. A Hebrew and English site with iOS and Android downloads

Chapter 3

How it is built

The site and system are built with Next.js on Vercel, with Supabase and Neon Postgres for data. The iOS app is wrapped in Capacitor and adds push, location and sharing from the phone, and on Android it runs as a Trusted Web Activity. A site update therefore reaches the apps without a new store submission.
