User Guide 📖

Welcome to SwapSkill! This guide will walk you through how to set up your account and successfully exchange knowledge with your peers.

🚀 Getting Started

  1. Sign Up: Click the "Get Started" button on the homepage to create your account.
  2. Personalize Your Profile: Head over to your Dashboard.
    • Click the edit icon (✎) on your avatar to upload a custom profile picture.
    • Add a short bio and list the core skills you are offering to teach others.
  3. Stay Active: Your profile features a live status indicator. When you have the app open, a green dot will appear next to your name so others know you are online and ready to swap!

🤝 How to Swap a Skill

SwapSkill uses a Two-Way Exchange system. You teach them something they want to learn, and they teach you something you want to learn!

Step 1: Find a Match Navigate to the Discover page. Browse the suggested matches or use the search bar to look for specific skills (e.g., Python, Graphic Design, Spanish).

Step 2: Propose the Swap When you find someone who has the skill you need, click the Request Swap button on their card. A window will pop up asking for two things:

  • I want to learn from them: Select the specific skill of theirs you are interested in.
  • I will teach them: Type in the skill you are offering to teach them in return. Click Send Request.

Step 3: Track Your Request Once sent, your request will appear in your Pending tab.

  • Note: The other user has 24 hours to accept your request. If they do not respond in time, the request will automatically expire to keep your list clutter-free.

Step 4: The Live Video Session If the user accepts your proposal, you will receive a notification and the request will move to your Accepted tab. Click 🚀 Start Video Session to instantly jump into a secure, 1-on-1 live video room and start learning!

📥 Managing Incoming Requests

When someone requests to learn from you, you will see a slide-in notification and a red badge on your bell icon (🔔).

  • Go to your Dashboard or the Pending tab to review the offer.
  • You can click Accept to schedule a session, or Reject if you aren't interested.
  • You can always review or clear your declined history in the Rejected tab.
