"Build your friends’ profiles, and let them build yours." 
SketchOff is a crowdsourcing social app where friends build straightforward and fun profiles for each other. 
With crowdsourced profiles, you get to see your image in the eyes of your friends, or your friends' images in the eyes of their friends. 
Building your friends' profiles, you can joke around with them, share genuine insights about them, or actually be subtly talking about yourself. Meanwhile, you open up conversations not just with your friend but also with your friend's friends. 
So how does the crowdsourcing happen? Every SketchOff profile is a storyboard. To write a story for your friend, you can write a tag, upload a picture, or snap a picture of your friend like on Instagram. You can vote “up” or “down” a tag or picture, which determines its ranking on the profile. So your profile is almost entirely determined by your friends.

TECHNOLOGY

SketchOff is a mobile app on iOS and Android platforms. It has a extensible and scalable API server running in Ruby. The data structure is minimalistic: each attribute of a user is stored as an atomic tag in the database. The server is fully tested and documented, following the principle of Behavior-Driven Development.
