About the build

Unseen Connection runs identity-blind dating nights across seven cities — Lisbon, London, Berlin, Dublin, Prague, Porto, and New York. Guests wear blindfolds and move through timed matchmaking rounds, so the whole product is built around the event: per-city signup pages, a round-based matching engine with shared icebreaker prompts, and a post-event feedback loop that reveals mutual matches. Beyond the guest flow it handles volunteer and host applications, a "bring it to your city" pipeline, a merch shop, and a member portal — all on TanStack Start and Supabase.

What it does

Round-based matchmaking

A matching engine pairs guests through timed blindfold rounds with shared icebreaker prompts, then reveals mutual matches after the night ends.

Event management

Per-city event pages, ticketing, guest lists and check-in — plus a host & volunteer pipeline to bring nights to new cities.

Member portal & feedback

Guests rate their connections after each event; the system surfaces mutual matches and keeps a profile that follows them across cities.

Merch shop

An integrated store for branded merch, wired into the same platform.
