Request for Consultation

Objective

The client approached us with the requirement of a social media application that enables users to make leisure plans and post different stories. The client also wanted to enable users to connect with others via one-one chat and group chats. Users can also see the stories of various users on the preferences of targets when they publish them and like stories to initiate the chat.

The Challenges

Algorithm for displaying users and stories based on various criteria like distance, age, sex
Display user profile in the loop if the pool exhausts so every time user is able to see and swipe the profiles
Integrating Branch io for link sharing in IOS and opening specific page when user is installing app from the link
In-app purchase with Google and Apple
Stories time-line like WhatsApp and real-time notification when new stories is published
No Internet connection handlings for various android devices

Our Solution

Our team integrated a customized algorithm for displaying users and stories. We also integrated Branch io for link sharing in iOS. In-app purchase was integrated into both Android and iOS apps. Android devices can run this app even without the Internet.
