Users

Young adults (1835) in Russian-speaking markets looking for genuine human connection. They use the app on mobile daily and occasionally on desktop. Primary tasks per session: browse profiles in the feed, check matches, continue active chats, propose or accept dates. Secondary tasks: manage their profile, upload media, review dates.

Product Purpose

Daiting is a dating app for meaningful connections. It replaces the swipe-factory aesthetic with an editorial, intentional experience. Success = users move from match to real-world date, and the app gets out of the way once that happens.

Brand Personality

Editorial, intimate, anti-generic. The brand is a slow magazine that happens to be a dating app — not a gamified engagement machine.

Anti-references

  • Tinder: gamified swipe loop, neon gradients, floating hearts, rounded-rectangle card grids
  • Bumble: soft pastels, yellow-dominant, saccharine UI
  • Hinge: safe-feeling card stacks, forgettable typography
  • Any app using Inter/Roboto, purple gradients, glassmorphism, or soft pastels

Design Principles

  1. Editorial over decorative. Every visual choice earns its place by conveying information or personality — never as ornament.
  2. Motion serves state. Animations communicate transitions, feedback, and hierarchy. Nothing animates for spectacle.
  3. Intimacy through restraint. Less color, more contrast. Less animation, more weight. Silence is part of the design.
  4. Anti-template. Every screen should look like it was designed for this specific moment, not assembled from components.
  5. Warm but serious. The app deals with real human connection — the tone is warm without being cute, confident without being cold.
