About Offline

Offline is a revolutionary social media app built around geospatial data, designed to get you off your phone and connect with your local community in meaningful ways. Unlike traditional social platforms that keep you scrolling endlessly, Offline encourages real-world interactions by locking content to your physical location.

The Problem We're Solving

In today's digital age, many of us find ourselves trapped in endless scrolling cycles, disconnected from our immediate surroundings and local communities. Traditional social media platforms are designed to maximize screen time and engagement metrics, often at the expense of our mental health and real-world connections.

Our Solution

Offline takes a fundamentally different approach. By tying content to physical locations and hiding engagement metrics, we've created a platform that serves as a bridge between digital convenience and real-world experiences. Our app encourages users to explore their surroundings, connect with local communities, and engage in meaningful face-to-face interactions.

Technologies

Offline is built using cutting-edge technologies to ensure a seamless and secure user experience:

• React Native for cross-platform mobile development
• Django for backend
• PostgreSQL for database
• Railway for deployment
• Google Maps API for precise geolocation services
• WebSockets for real-time messaging and notifications

Our Vision

We believe that technology should enhance our real-world experiences, not replace them. Offline aims to be the bridge between digital convenience and authentic human connection, helping users rediscover the joy of local community engagement while still enjoying the benefits of modern technology.
