Develop a simplified version of the Instagram application incorporating the touch gestures of Tinder.
Browsing social media can be a fun way to meet new people, interact with friends and make your opinion and comments known. This web application will allow users to post pictures to their home page and follow friends as well as other people of interest. The application will display a notification whenever another user a person follows posts a new photo. Users will be able to like other pictures. Finally, users will also be able to comment on other users pictures as well as their own.
The application is be a simplified version of the popular app Instagram.
We decided to create a phone application that will be a combination of both Instagram and Tinder, incorporating the swipe gestures of Tinder into an Instagram-like app. These are the swiping features we've implemented: swipe left = basic scrolling to the next image; swipe right = like the picture; swipe up = comment on the picture;
- Ability for users to post a picture to the website.
- Users can follow other users.
- When a user posts a picture, all users who follow them will receive a notification.
- Ability for users to leave comments on other users pictures.
- Ability to navigate the app using Tinder-like swiping motions
- Ability to like pictures
