A social app where you meet the plan before the people

People want company for real things: Sunday badminton, a sunrise walk, a pottery class. Zliq lets anyone post a plan like that and lets others ask to join.

The trap is that apps for meeting strangers usually show you people first. That quietly turns "want to come along?" into "do I like the look of them?", and the whole thing starts to feel like a dating app. Zliq had to feel like a plan, not a profile feed. It also needed a women-only space where only verified women can host or join.

I drew the information architecture as one tree, so the whole app fit on a single page and every screen had a clear way in. As the plan grew, the IA picked up new modules: messages, a photo layer, ratings, host reconfirmation and a document check.

Before any low-fidelity work, I walked through what each addition meant for the experience and proposed a way to phase them, so the core of the app stayed focused.

Settled in one scoping call, before a single lo-fi screen:

Every screen was built from one shared set of components, so these rules were enforced by the parts themselves, not by remembering them.
