Africa's First Hybrid Social Network # ConnectLite **Connecting everyone, even without internet.** ConnectLite is an offline-first social & dating platform for Africa. Smartphone users get a full web app; feature-phone users get the same social ecosystem — dating, friendship, communities — via **USSD** and **SMS**, powered by Africa's Talking. > Built for the *Dating and Social Networks Solutions Hackathon*. ## Status: all 11 build phases implemented | Phase | Scope | Status | |---|---|---| | 1 | Foundation — config, custom User, JWT auth, base frontend | ✅ | | 2 | Profiles + configurable compatibility-scoring matching engine | ✅ | | 3 | Africa's Talking SMS + idempotent webhooks, notifications, communities, messaging | ✅ | | 4 | USSD flow (registration, discovery, matches, communities, profile, airtime, help) | ✅ | | 5 | Airtime gifting + referral/community rewards, abuse prevention | ✅ | | 6 | Voice — demo-mode verification (live AT call flow deliberately unimplemented, see below) | ✅ | | 7 | Frontend — all 14 screens, design system, mobile-first responsive layout | ✅ | | 8 | Integration pass — found & fixed a webhook-namespacing bug, Docker networking fixes | ✅ | | 9 | QA — static/consistency checks only, see honesty note below | ⚠️ partial | | 10 | Documentation | ✅ | | 11 | Demo script | ✅ | **⚠️ Honesty note:** this codebase was built in a sandboxed environment with no network access — no `pip install`, `npm install`, Docker daemon, or live database were available.
