Challenge

The main task was to create a social network app where users can exchange photos of places worth visiting. The Client asked us to copy most Instagram features and put a heavier focus on geolocation. Overall, the whole thing was about building an app that would make the discovery and sharing of new places more efficient – so we had to make sure the HotJot app would be fast and reliable.

Solution

We worked closely with the HotJot team to fulfill every detail of their vision. Our project manager gathered all the requirements, created the roadmap, set up the tools needed for tracking the project, and supervised the successful execution of the project. Based on the project manager estimates, we assigned one iOS developer and one Backend developer for this project. Our developers followed the Agile development process, using Jira and Slack to track tasks and communicate with the project manager.

Results

The MVP version for iOS was created in 6 weeks and published on the App Store right away. During the development phase, the following technical solutions were implemented: the frontend using native iOS frameworks, the Firebase backend, and integration of Apple Maps, Facebook SDK, and Uber API. We also developed the admin console for HotJot to gather and control user data.
