Slide_6. Product Summary. Purpose Relay is intended to be a social media site that is able to provide stronger and more personal connections between its users than other competing social media sites. Relay’s purpose is to make users feel more connected to each other through real time conversations. Motivation Our primary motivation with relay was to create a product that is different from the current mainstream social media websites. We also valued the idea of people talking to one another directly and with the ongoing pandemic we thought that a live chat implementation would be different and valuable for people during and after the pandemic. Overall, This project was created in response to the limitations that social distancing has imposed upon connecting with friends and family..

Slide_7. Product Summary. Functionalities With the purpose and motivation of relay being to maintain communication during social distancing, the main function of relay is to provide users with an alternative to live in person conversations with the convenience of finding it in a social media application. The best part about relay is that conversation is optional and the wait for responses are minimal. Target Audience The target audience for relay is any individual who would like to supplement the lack of live fast paste interaction caused by the pandemic. When it comes to post pandemic life, relay also would provide users an outlet to share their lives and perspective through post while continuing to allow users to stay connected..
