Hi everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I am reasonably new to Adalo and I am trying to create an app that matches the logged in user with other users based on having the same interests. I was thinking of having it in the format of facebooks suggested friend with the avatar list. Each user picks 5 interests out of a list, so say if a user picked football, rugby, tennis, singing and dance, there would be 5 avatar lists one for other users who selected football, one for rugby etc etc. I would love to have a special avatar list for a ‘top picks’ sections for users who share the most common interests. I understand how a user could search for other users with these interests but I do not know how to match them without using a search.

Could anybody help me with this or even point me in the direction of a video or anything like that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you guys,

Ethan
