AskOut
Social connection app
AskOut is a playful little app for breaking the ice. If you spot someone you’d like to meet, you set up a quick profile and it hands you a QR code and a link — show the QR or send the link, they answer a few questions and share how to reach them, and you watch their responses land live on your dashboard. Simple, fun, and private by design.
Make the first move less terrifying
The idea was simple and a little cheeky: give someone an easy, low-pressure way to ask another person out — or just open a conversation — without the awkward cold approach.
It’s intentionally not a heavy platform. It’s a fun, simple tool for a single moment of courage.
A QR you can just show
The whole flow is built so it works whether you can send a link or you just have to hold up your phone.
- Set up a quick profile with photos, your WhatsApp / socials, and a few dating-app-style questions
- Get a unique QR code and a shareable URL — copy the link, or just show the QR in person
- They scan or open it, answer, and share how to reach them
- Responses stream into your dashboard live — and one code can collect multiple responses
Light, warm, mobile-first
The whole thing is mobile-first and built to feel warm and fun rather than clinical — smooth animations, a friendly interface, and a live dashboard that updates the moment someone replies.
Yours, briefly
Because it involves personal contact details, privacy was a first-class concern, not an afterthought. Details are encrypted, no accounts are required — everything is linked by a private URL — and entries auto-erase from the database after seven days.
You share what you need for the moment, and then it’s gone.
Small, fast, real-time
React + TypeScript with Supabase for storage and real-time updates, QR generation, and a deliberately lightweight, static-first deploy.
It’s a small project — but a complete, working one, and honestly a fun one to build.
Got a manual workflow worth automating?
This kind of focused, end-to-end tool is exactly what I like building. Let's talk about yours.
