Demo

There is a Playable Demo running for ParaMeeter.

It is not intended to be a finished, polished product - instead it is a more-or-less vertical slice that can demonstrate some of the unique features of ParaMeeter.

The demo instances are all invite-only

If you’d like to have a look at the demo, please drop your details in the Contact form and include a note about which of the instances listed below you would like invite codes for.

We are not looking for software stress-testers, pentesters, graphic design critics etc. at this time

The purpose of the demo is to get feedback on the ways that the challenges of federated people-meeting have been solved, and to help develop the way that the unique features are presented to the user.

The user experience will be pretty bad, and that’s kinda by design! We will try to fix things that prevent people from getting the most out of the demo, but will not be accepting bug reports about what colour the buttons are etc.

What the demo allows users to do right now

Create an account and be guided through a basic embarkation flow to set their accounts up
Fill their profile with various types of data, and set some controls on who gets to see this data
Search for other users by specifying criteria such as location, gender identidy, language etc. (the various categories of Fundamental profile element)
Send chat requests to search matches
Accept chat requests and enter into conversation with other users
Report any problematic user-generated content to moderators
Establish Vouch Links with trusted acquaintances, and see if any given search result has an unbroken Vouch Chain back to you

What the next demo update might include

An offer of an example of non-dating embarkation flow at signup, in addition to the current default flow
Improvements to the chat-request-and-creation flow, with better visibility of how each chat partner was found afterwards
Control over what profile data types are shown for results in each search, with different defaults for each of the 3 major search types
More use of the Vouch system, e.g. to allow a vouch partner to vouch for a photograph

Some things that are definitely out-of-scope during the demo phase

Creation of a full catalogue of pick-from-list type profile elements (e.g. Interests, Languages) since this is a large data-organisation project in itself
Allowing third parties to run instances
Email notifications

There are 3 instances in this demo universe

These should demonstrate the ability for instances to restrict their served demographic to that of their choosing.
