Software Requirements Specification


(SRS)

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the software requirements for a mobile application that
allows users to connect with strangers locally and internationally, build friendships, and share
social content. The application focuses on providing interest-based matching, temporary and
permanent chats, and a social feed, while ensuring user safety and engagement.

1.2 Scope

This application provides users with the ability to:

 Virtually "fly" to different locations to meet and chat with strangers.


 Befriend strangers for permanent communication.
 Share stories and posts with their friends.
 Use AI tools for personalized recommendations and safety moderation. The app will
serve a global audience, supporting multiple languages and cultural contexts.

1.3 Definitions, Acronyms, and Abbreviations


 Flight: A virtual feature where users can connect with others in specific regions or
globally.
 Temporary Chat: A chat session that is deleted unless both parties choose to befriend
each other.
 Friendship Mode: A state where users are added to each other’s friends list for
permanent interaction.

2. Functional Requirements

2.1 Stranger Connections

1. Local or International Flights:


o Users can initiate a virtual flight to connect with strangers based on their selected
location.

o Either user can leave the chat at any time.
4. Quick Start:
o A single “Find Someone” button for instant matching without customization.

2.2 Friendship Mode

1. Be Friends Button:
o Both parties must agree to become friends.
o Friendship status adds users to each other’s friends list.
2. Permanent Chat History:
o Chats between friends are stored and accessible at any time.
3. Online Status:

3. User Verification:
o Optional profile verification for enhanced trust within the community.

2.5 Pre-Flight Form

1. Fields in the Form:


o Purpose of Chat: Dropdown or text input with options like:
 Learn a Skill.
 Get Travel Advice.
 Cultural Exchange.
 Casual Chat.
o Interests/Skills:
 Users can select predefined options or input custom interests (e.g., Piano,
Art, Hiking).
o Preferred Language: Optional field to specify the language for communication.

connections.

3.3 Scalability

 The application must support high volumes of concurrent users and global traffic without
degradation in performance.

3.4 Security

 End-to-end encryption for chats to ensure privacy.


 Strict data protection policies for user information.

4. Additional Considerations

4.1 Missing or Dependent Features

1. Matching Algorithm:
o A robust backend algorithm is critical for matching users accurately based on
their interests, locations, and pre-flight forms.
2. Language Translation:
o Real-time language translation during chats could enhance global connections and
accessibility.
3. Monetization Options:
o Features like premium flight filters, profile boosts, or sponsored posts can help
generate revenue.
4. Push Notifications:
o Notify users about new matches, messages, or updates from friends.
5. Onboarding Process:
o A guided tutorial or interactive walkthrough to familiarize new users with the app
features.

4.2 Dependencies

 AI moderation and recommendation systems will require robust machine learning models
and cloud services for deployment.
 Safety features depend on user reporting and moderation efficiency.
5. Appendix

 User Stories:
o As a user, I want to connect with strangers in my travel destination to get local
insights.
o As a user, I want to share temporary stories and posts with my friends.
o As a user, I want to report inappropriate behavior to ensure a safe community.
