Stranger Events

Discover events, meet people, create experiences — a social platform built around real-world meetups.

Stranger Events

“The best events are the ones a friend brings you to. Build that feeling for people who do not have the friend yet.”

Client

A closed-community events startup building the social layer around real-world meetups.

Challenge

Event apps optimise for ticket sales, not for whether you will actually know anyone when you arrive. New attendees drop off; hosts have no way to build reputation for running a good room.

Solution

A React Native app for iOS and Android from a single codebase. Browse local events, see who else is going, join a small group beforehand, and rate hosts and groups after so reputation compounds. Backend for events, groups and reputation, push notifications for group activity.

Result

A tested build ready for closed-community launch, with a reputation model that rewards good hosts and safe groups.
