SwipeSight

September 1, 2025

SwipeSight is a React Native mobile application designed to provide a personalized and engaging image discovery experience. At its core, it uses a content-based recommendation system to understand user preferences and deliver tailored image suggestions. When a user opens the app, they are presented with a series of random images. Users can swipe right to indicate they like an image or swipe left to indicate a dislike. Each interaction is recorded and fed into a weighted recommendation algorithm that gradually learns the user’s tastes. The app doesn’t just display images randomly — it dynamically adapts to the user’s behavior. After a certain number of swipes, typically around ten, the algorithm begins to identify patterns in user interest and starts showing more relevant images. This approach ensures that users are consistently presented with content they enjoy, keeping the experience fresh and engaging. SwipeSight also focuses heavily on smooth and intuitive UI transitions, creating a seamless swiping experience similar to popular swipe-based applications. Behind the scenes, asynchronous data handling ensures that images load quickly without lag, even as the recommendation engine updates in real time. The combination of intelligent learning algorithms and user-friendly design makes SwipeSight not only an image recommendation app but also an interactive tool that evolves with the user’s preferences over time.
