Detailed requirements elaboration #

Frontend

Backend

Organized the backend structure for scalability.
Dockerized the project for deployment.
Established database schema and connected the profile microservice to PostgreSQL.
Defined the initial API contract for future integrations.
Implemented authorization via Telegram.

Design

As a new user, I want to set up a profile with my preferred sports, location, and availability, so the app can suggest compatible activity partners.
- As a new user, I want to sign up via Telegram, so that I can register quickly without creating a password.
- As a new user, I want to select multiple sports from a list, so that partners are suggested based on my activity interests.
- As a new user, I want to specify my favorite places to do sports, so that partners are suggested based on my preferred sport locations.
- As a new user, I want to mark my weekly availability, so that partners are suggested based on my availability.
As a registered user, I want to browse and filter potential matches by sport, location, and availability, so I can find partners suited to my preferences.
As a registered user, I want to view a match’s profile and open a Telegram chat with him/her, so we can communicate privately.
- As a registered user, I want to view a match’s complete sports profile, so that I know if we share enough interests.
- As a registered user, I want to initiate a Telegram chat directly from a profile, so that we can coordinate without sharing phone numbers.

Key user stories with acceptance criteria:

As a new user, I want to sign up via Telegram, so that I can register quickly without creating a password.
- AC: After Telegram OAuth, the user is automatically registered and redirected to the profile setup.
As a registered user, I want to initiate a Telegram chat directly from a profile, so that we can coordinate without sharing phone numbers.
- AC: Clicking “Message” opens Telegram directly to a chat with the match’s username.
As a registered user, I want to browse and filter potential matches by sport, location, and availability, so I can find partners suited to my preferences.
- AC: Potential matches sorted by compatibility score, from highest to lowest.

Although the project is dockerized, for some reason it only runs on Linux -> we need to ensure cross-platform compatibility (Windows/macOS support).
It is recommended to use Telegram-based authentication (user registration and authorization via Telegram).
For better user experience, the user feed should be ranked from higher to lower match relevance.
