Profile

Matching

  • predefined topics / app functionality / suggestions

    • marketplace
    • dating
    • school / work
    • events / advertisement
    • privat interests / everything else
  • huge database with keywords for each pre defined topic to make sure that users are using the same words

  • matches on a specific topic are sorted in each interest group

  • whitelist of IDs for an instant match when nearby

  • contact list / telephonebook with matches (if allowed to be saved)

Private settings

  • beeing able to get matches, but not allowing other devices to save your profile
  • a shareable puplic profile everyone is allowed to see when connected to the network
  • some kind of a lobby showing all users nearby / connected to the network - if allowed to be shared

Profile / ID

  • users have 1 ID per device? or mulitple IDs / Profile settings each with a unique ID or maybe sub IDs which is only partly different 1 ID per predefined category? fixed amount of IDs per device to have some amount of anonymity/privacy?

I'm sure people don't want to reveal everything via the same ID when having set interests in
dating, offering something to sell, personal interests and having connections with family or co-workers.
Some kind of privacy via multiple IDs, not related among each other, should be provided.

Open questions:

  • Are devices traceable via BT or Wi-FI?
  • Proxy/TOR function to route data via other Clingers nearby?
  • pay function / blockchain integrity even when CLING is an offline only app?
  • some kind of groupchat or even textboard funtion?
  • an informationchannel where only the channel creator can post updates (for bigger events to push out updates)?
  • content sharing?
  • low energy micro devices, only capable of streaming one specific messages to CLING users for a long period
