Built by jadinek & myself for our WeThinkCode_ web module.
It's Matcha! A matchmaking dating website for a WeThinkCode_ webmodule project and the capstone to the web module.
Built in a few weeks. It's not pretty, but it works!
- User login, register & forget password functionality. Login requires email verification.
- Homepage with assigned 'matches' based on weighted criteria of the user's preferences & location. Location determined via google api request with IP used as a fallback.
- User only gets full access to the site after completing their profile.
- Notifications if another user likes you or visits your page.
- Update page to update user credentials & their preferences regarding matches and upload profile pictures.
- Email reset & password forgot functionality which sends you an email.
- Search functionality with sorting, ranges and single keyword search.
- User likes, and a very aggressive block feature.
Node.JS and Typescript
- Knex and SQL calls used to communicate between the database and the Node.js backend. Koa as middleware for the frontend. Nodemailer for emails.
- Faker used for seeding database with 500 dummy users (including profile pictures).
- Storage must be in a SQL database. We used SQLITE3. Passwords hashed using bcrypt.
- Backend provides web tokens for user identification.
We didn't get to implement chat or proper user reporting. But the basis for them is there.

To my fellow WTCoders: Warning contains 🐞🐞🐞. Copy paste at your own peril. Or just learn React & Node.js, they're kinda great!
