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
