Honker (Messaging)

Chat/messaging application based on vehicle license plates

Unique social networking for drivers with built-in privacy features

Honker is a pioneering iOS-based social networking app that reimagines how drivers connect — using license plate numbers instead of phone numbers or usernames. The platform lets users engage in real-time messaging, share feedback, and communicate with others on the road while ensuring complete privacy and security. By decoupling identity from communication, Honker offers a fresh approach to location-based social apps. The app features plate-based user profiles, GPS-based discovery, and push notifications. Users can register their vehicle license plates (either via image or text), discover others nearby, and engage in moderated chat. A robust admin portal supports plate verification, user flagging, and suspension management to ensure safe and respectful interactions. The system is reinforced with a fully responsive marketing site to promote the app and onboard users. Developed using iOS 8 technologies, .NET backend, and SQL Server for data persistence, the project demonstrates a deep focus on user experience, scalability, and trust-building. Honker successfully blends automotive and social networking domains, creating a novel space for communication on the move.
