Promform
A campus-exclusive web platform that eliminates the social friction of finding a prom partner — turning an awkward cold-outreach problem into a seamless, preference-matched experience for college students.
Key Result
300 sign-ups within 4 days of launch. 3 couples independently reached out to confirm the platform helped them find their prom partner.
The Challenge
College students lacked a low-friction, campus-native way to find and match with a prom partner. Cold outreach on general social platforms felt awkward, and the social stakes were high enough that most students avoided trying altogether.
The Solution
Founded and built Promform as a mobile-first React SPA backed by Firebase — giving students a preference-driven onboarding flow, a real-time match discovery system, and a trusted campus-exclusive environment to connect with potential prom partners.
Architecture & Engineering Stack
- React (JavaScript SPA) frontend engineered for mobile-first campus usage with frictionless preference onboarding
- Firebase Authentication for secure, campus-verified student account creation
- Cloud Firestore real-time document model for student profiles, match preferences, and live match state
- Firebase Hosting for instant global CDN delivery, handling peak registration traffic without downtime
