Paired Helps Couples Spark Meaningful Conversations: Stream Chat Keeps Them Going

Paired, an app designed to enhance communication between couples through daily quizzes and questions, sought to integrate an in-app chat feature to facilitate ongoing conversations, particularly for long-distance relationships. Co-founders Kevin Shanahan and Diego Lopez chose Stream's React Native SDK for its customizable UI and extensive features, allowing the Paired team to focus on their core competencies rather than building a complex chat system from scratch. The decision was driven by the need to match the functionality of popular messaging apps and the benefits of using an open-source, regularly updated codebase. Lopez, Paired's CTO, values Stream's transparency and the partnership with their support team, which has been instrumental in maintaining and enhancing the app's chat capabilities, ensuring users have a seamless and engaging experience.
