The Challenge

Why this matters

The dating app market is saturated with low-quality, swipe-based experiences. Vybes needed to differentiate with a premium, intentional dating experience that prioritizes real connections over endless swiping. The challenge was building a platform that feels exclusive while being technically robust enough to handle real-time video calling, ID verification, and event management.

Our Approach

How we tackled it

01

Conducted extensive user research with 200+ singles in the target demographic to understand pain points with existing dating apps

02

Designed a FaceTime-first matching flow that requires 15-minute video calls before messaging — forcing genuine interaction

03

Built a proprietary ID verification system that prevents catfishing and builds trust

04

Created an event discovery engine for exclusive in-person meetups

05

Developed a curated matching algorithm based on values, lifestyle, and relationship goals rather than just appearance

The Solution

What we built

We built Vybes as a cross-platform mobile app using React Native with a Node.js backend. The app features real-time WebRTC video calling, document verification via AI, push notifications, and a sophisticated event management system. Every interaction is designed to build trust and facilitate genuine connections.

Kanopy didn't just build our app — they helped us rethink what dating should be. The team's product thinking was as valuable as their engineering.
