Feature Request: Add Chatbot for FAQs with Predefined Questions #20
Description
New users visiting DevTinder may be confused about how the platform works, especially with features like developer swiping, matchmaking, or project collaboration. They often have recurring questions that aren't immediately answered on the homepage.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a chatbot-style FAQ assistant (bottom-right of the screen or as a modal) that:
- Shows a curated list of predefined, clickable questions
- Displays concise, friendly answers in a chat-like format
- Does not require input from the user (no live messaging, just click → get answer)
Example FAQs:
- How does DevTinder work?
- What does “match” mean in DevTinder?
- Can I filter matches by skills or interests?
- Is this platform only for developers?
- How do I start a conversation after a match?
alternatives:*
- Static FAQ page (but less engaging)
- Tooltips and onboarding walkthrough (may clutter UI)
Additional context
An FAQ chatbot would:
- Greatly improve the onboarding experience
- Help users understand DevTinder’s unique matching concept
- Keep the UI modern, interactive, and helpful
Potential libraries to implement:
react-simple-chatbot- Custom modal with collapsible FAQ entries styled like chat bubbles
Future upgrades could include:
- Adding search in FAQ
- AI-powered responses
- Live chat or community support
