About The Customer

Realife is designed for individuals who are interested in organizing or participating in outdoor group activities based on their interests and location. The app is particularly useful for those who wish to reconnect physically with others, especially in the current climate where virtual interactions have become more prevalent. Users can range from friends looking to organize a sports event to individuals or groups wanting to host paid activities and sell tickets. The app also caters to users who wish to discover new activities in their area and connect with other users.

The Challenge

The founder of Realife, Aris Maquelin, identified a growing need for a platform that could facilitate the organization of outdoor group activities based on users' interests and location. The increasing dominance of the virtual world and the gloom of the current period prompted him to create a solution that would help reconnect people physically. The challenge was to create an application that was easy to use, didn't consume much time, and allowed users to propose activities, register for them, and even sell tickets for paid events. However, Aris lacked a strong background in coding, which posed a significant barrier to the development of such an application.

The Solution

Aris chose Bubble, a no-code platform, to build the Realife app. Bubble's powerful, no-code app building tools and features provided the necessary resources to build the product. Users can propose an activity by providing details such as title, description, address, and date. They can also control the activities proposed with the 'console' button, which allows them to accept participants, use the chat associated with the event, post photos of the event, and scan tickets. The app also offers ticket sales and a tool to control the tickets, with each ticket individualized to avoid grey market issues. Users can also contact other users and discover pictures of the different activities organized.

Operational Impact

The Realife app has garnered interest from various media outlets, indicating its potential impact and relevance in the current social climate. The app's ability to facilitate the organization of outdoor group activities based on users' interests and location has been recognized, and it has been featured in several presentations. The app's development on the Bubble platform has also demonstrated the power and potential of no-code tools in creating complex and functional applications, even for individuals without a strong background in coding. The success of Realife serves as a testament to the growing no-code movement and its ability to democratize technology creation.
