MatriNome 💖

A website for matching two soulmates

Key Points

• A profile matching website where people link with each other.

• Users fill their profile and see the profile of other users based on their interests listed in the profile and on the basis of the filters they apply.

• Now if the user wants, they can choose to smash or pass and then the request is sent to the other user, who can accept or decline their request.

• Mails are sent to notify users on various events such as signup, request received, request accepted etc.
