01 The intent

Making clarity part of the product.

Mainstream dating apps rarely account for the communication, clarity and safety needs expressed by neurodivergent people. AtypikLove explores a more suitable, explicit and caring experience.

Protecting members without blocking conversations: a social platform has to filter problematic content while keeping exchanges natural, and connect discovery, matching and messaging in one clear flow.

The approach

A Next.js and TypeScript foundation, Supabase for authentication, profiles, matching and messages, and AI moderation of text and images as a first barrier. Labels and steps are made explicit to limit ambiguity.

02.1 Discover your own way

Different views, familiar landmarks.

AtypikLove discovery interface with demonstration profiles, view choices and filters. — Grid discovery, using demonstration profiles to present the interface.

Discovery brings together a grid, a profile-focused view and a map. Filters stay in the same space. Members can choose a presentation without learning a different navigation for every screen.

Profile cards keep key information easy to scan. The layout separates new members from general discovery and retains direct access to the rest of the product.

AtypikLove mobile discovery with illustrated fictional profiles and bottom navigation. — Discovery on a phone, with dedicated bottom navigation and entirely fictional profiles.

02.2 Make actions meaningful

One profile at a time, explicit choices.

The individual view gives profiles more room and makes actions easy to read.

The individual view gives a person’s introduction more room. Actions rely on more than icons: they have labels, distinct areas and a clear place below the profile information.

This interface is part of a wider product. Accounts, matching and messages share the same technical foundation, connecting discovery to conversation within one environment.
