Overview
GlobalChat is a personal study project focused on connecting people within a specific radius, allowing them to interact instantly via chat. In addition to serving as a social platform, GlobalChat also acts as a guide for local businesses, such as grocery stores, markets, and bakeries, offering free visibility and interaction between consumers and merchants. With features similar to delivery services like Uber Eats, the app also enables users to place orders directly through the platform, creating a complete and integrated experience.
Objective
The objective of GlobalChat is to facilitate communication and support among people who are physically nearby, fostering a real-time social network and information exchange. At the same time, it aims to promote the growth and visibility of local businesses by providing a free space for promotion and simplifying the ordering process. The project seeks to combine the convenience of a social network with the functionality of a business directory and ordering system, creating a unique and integrated experience for users.
Process
The development of GlobalChat began with defining its target audience and the key features needed to meet their needs. With a focus on usability and intuitive design, the creation process involved research into local consumer behavior and analysis of competitors in both the social network and e-commerce sectors. The user interface design was crafted to ensure quick and seamless interaction, allowing users to easily access both the chat and business directory features, as well as place orders. A user-centered approach was applied throughout all stages of development, from prototyping to usability testing.
Impact
The impact of GlobalChat lies in its ability to connect people in a more local and personalized way, while strengthening the economy of small businesses by offering an accessible and free platform for promotion and orders. The app creates a new communication channel between consumers and merchants, providing a rich and collaborative social experience. Additionally, by incorporating the ordering functionality, it makes the platform a practical solution for users seeking convenience, while also supporting local businesses and encouraging conscious consumption within the community.
