SpeedHeart is a prototype dating web app built using Java, Spring Boot, Maven, JPA, and Thymeleaf. It allows users to create and delete profiles, view other users' profiles from a different user's perspective, and engage in a "like" system with correlated logic.
The idea behind this app was to create a dating platform for various animated car characters (hence the name SpeedHeart). However, it can also be used by humans or any other beings! :)
You can easily run the app with the included Maven wrapper. Simply execute one of the following commands:
./mvnw spring-boot:runon macOS/Linuxmvnw.cmd spring-boot:runon Windows
After executing the command, the application should be available at http://localhost:8080.
To run the tests, use the test command:
./mvnw teston macOS/Linux- or
mvnw.cmd teston Windows
1. Sign Up page: The sign-up page allows users to create an account, including uploading a profile picture. Data validation is applied to ensure correctness.
2. Sign In page: Users can sign in by selecting a previously registered account. Currently, this implementation does not require authentication and passwords are not handled in the application.
3. Browse Other Users: Once signed in, users can browse through other profiles and give them likes. Users can see whether they've liked a particular account and whether the account has liked them back. When the like is mutual, contact information is shared between the two users. If a user receives a mutual like from another, their contact information is revealed, as shown in the image below. The currently signed-in user's account is also visible, and they can sign out or delete their account directly from the navigation bar.
The current implementation is based on this simplified conceptual schema. However, earlier, I designed a more comprehensive conceptual schema, which could be used for future expansions of SpeedHeart. This schema is shown below.
This older schema may contain some inaccuracies, so please take it with a grain of salt.
The user image shown in this README is purely an example of a potential profile picture that a user might upload. It is for illustrative purposes only. The SpeedHeart application does not provide profile pictures; users are free to upload any image of their choice. The same applies to displayed names, email addresses, and other user information.
