Friendify

Problem Domain Description

Social connections and friend-matching

Software Specification

Friendify allows users to match with other users in the system based on the similarities of their chosen Spotify playlist. The user first creates their account and is taken to the logged-in page, which has the options to match, view friends, view pending requests, and edit their profile. In the edit profile page, the user can change their bio, spotify handle, and their chosen Spotify playlist. For match, the user gets the top 5 users who have the highest similarity scores with them. The user can view their profiles and send requests to them, but the profiles have limited information until the requested user accepts the friend request. Once the requests are accepted, users become friends and they can view each other's full profile.
