Abstract
Making new friends in real life can be frustrating due to the effort and interaction involved. However, thanks to the invention of the internet, people can now connect with others more easily, breaking down traditional barriers and allowing friendships to form more effortlessly. DePal, a social networking application, is designed to help users make new friends for study or casual socializing purposes. DePal allows users to create an account, post a bio, and upload pictures of themselves. The app enables users to swipe through profiles, select a "check" button to match with others, and initiate communication to plan activities like studying or hanging out. Users can also create and add events to a shared website calendar, allowing their matches to see and join in on upcoming activities. This encourages users to set up group events and engage in collaborative, meaningful social experiences.
