Dil Mil: A Dating App for Meaningful Relationships

Matching South Asians for Dynamic and Professional Connections

With over millions of matches made, Dil Mil is a dating app that helps people meet the type of dynamic, professional South Asians they'd want to date. Designed by Ihor Shadko, Dil Mil stands out from other dating apps with its unique features and strengths.

Utilizing technologies such as Sketch, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flinto, and UXcam, Dil Mil is available on both iOS and Android platforms. The app's clean and white user interface provides a visually appealing experience for its users.

One of the standout features of Dil Mil is its simplified onboarding process. Users are not required to fill out long, overloaded inputs. Instead, all information is parsed through Facebook, LinkedIn, and step-by-step onboarding. The app also offers deep search customization criteria, accessible from the home screen and glimpse screen.

Matched people are sorted by time, distance, and bot matching. The Dil Mil Bot is a unique feature that allows users to find potential matches through interaction with the Facebook chat bot. This innovative approach adds an element of fun and engagement to the dating experience.

The design of Dil Mil prioritizes content, providing ample space for users to showcase their personalities and interests. Alongside personal information, users can link their LinkedIn and Instagram profiles, helping them get to know each other better.

A flexible filtering system allows users to search for potential matches based on diverse criteria, catering to the preferences of the Dil Mil community. The app also emphasizes communication, with features such as matching through the messaging bot and disappearing media, allowing users to share pictures without any concerns.

The development of Dil Mil took place over a span of six months in Kyiv, Ukraine. Throughout the process, the design team faced the challenge of creating a truly useful and unique tool without copying existing patterns. The result is a dating app that stands out in its functionality and user experience.

Dil Mil has received recognition for its outstanding design. In 2017, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Mobile Technologies, Applications, and Software Design category. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements.

With its focus on meaningful relationships and innovative features, Dil Mil continues to connect South Asians looking for dynamic and professional connections.
