TODAY is a social discovery application designed to help young adults in Adelaide build friendships through shared experiences and affordable activities. The project aimed to create an accessible digital platform that encourages meaningful connections while reducing the social pressures associated with meeting new people. Young adults often experience social anxiety, financial limitations and difficulty forming friendships. Existing social platforms can create pressure through unfamiliar interactions, overwhelming interfaces and limited accessibility, discouraging users from participating in social activities. The strategy positioned TODAY as an approachable, community-focused platform centred around connection, inclusivity and spontaneity. By prioritising affordability, personal interests and low-pressure interactions, the application encourages users to explore local experiences and build genuine relationships. A warm colour palette, soft gradients and minimal interface establish a welcoming digital environment. Personalised activity recommendations, interest-based groups and budget filters simplify discovery, while structured conversation prompts and one-tap participation reduce social barriers and encourage engagement. The resulting application combines intuitive UX design with an inviting visual identity. TODAY creates a supportive digital experience that makes discovering activities, meeting people and building friendships feel more accessible, comfortable and enjoyable.
