The challenge

What Pheramor needed to solve.

Most dating apps match on photos and a few taps, then leave people guessing about real chemistry. Pheramor wanted matches grounded in DNA kit results and genuine social interests, delivered through a clean, fast app on both iOS and Android, with chat that feels instant.

Goals
  • Match people on DNA compatibility, not just photos
  • Pull genuine interests from social profiles
  • Make first conversations instant with real time chat
  • Keep the interface minimal with smooth animations
  • Ship one consistent experience on iOS and Android
The solution

Resourcifi designed and built Pheramor as native iOS and Android apps on a Node.js backend. The app analyzes DNA kit and social profile data to produce a compatibility score, surfaces matches through a clean discover feed, and connects matched people with real time chat powered by Twilio.

What we built

The Pheramor build, screen by screen.

01 · Browse and swipe

A discover feed built on real chemistry

The home screen opens on a full bleed profile card with name, age, city, and a tagline, so a member browses people the way the real app does. A teal DNA tab anchors the bottom nav.

  • Full bleed profile cards
  • Name, age, and city
  • One tag tagline per person
  • Teal DNA bottom nav

02 · Profile and gene report

A profile that leads with the gene report

Each profile pairs photos and basics with a teal to blue gene report bar and a set of interest chips pulled from social, giving a member context before a first message.

  • Friends avatar stack
  • Gene report completion bar
  • Bio and basic details
  • Interest chips from social

03 · DNA compatibility breakdown

Match scores backed by DNA

A compatibility view shows the DNA match as a clear ring, then breaks it down by immune genes, pheromones, and lifestyle, with the interests two people share listed below.

  • DNA match ring
  • Category by category bars
  • Shared interest chips
  • One tap to start chatting
Node.jsMatch engine
04 · Real time chat

Messages that arrive the moment they are sent

Once two people match, a real time chat built on Twilio carries text, presence, and read receipts, with audio and video controls in the header.

  • Live presence and typing
  • Read receipts and timestamps
  • Audio and video controls
  • DNA match banner in thread

05 · Social and interests

Interests pulled straight from social

Connecting Facebook and Instagram fills a member's interest tags automatically, then surfaces people who share them along with a match score for each.

  • Facebook and Instagram sync
  • Auto filled interest chips
  • People ranked by match
  • Shared interests per person
Smart social integrationNode.js
06 · Account and settings

DNA kit, accounts, and privacy in one place

The account screen holds the gene report status, connected accounts, discovery preferences, and privacy controls, so a member manages the whole experience from one profile.

  • DNA kit and gene report
  • Connected social accounts
  • Discovery preferences
  • Privacy and notifications
