Project Summary

99x (formerly Nextly) provides ongoing web development for a video-creation platform, using JavaScript, TypeScript, Next.js, and NestJS to implement new features and maintain the site. The engagement began in Feb. 2023 and remains ongoing; the vendor helped replace the client's internal streaming platform and the client reports improved throughput, timely deliveries, and satisfaction with communication and independence. The client is a small company and retained 99x while raising capital before hiring a full internal team.

Key Challenges

Needed additional development resources while raising capital
Required ability to keep the product functioning and add new features quickly during fundraising
Needed short-term specialist expertise for select tasks rather than full-time hires

Project Deliverables

Website
New feature implementations
Replacement of internal video streaming platform
Ongoing web development support

Project Solution

The vendor launched initial development of the site and was hired to provide ongoing web development services. They implemented new features using JavaScript, TypeScript, Next.js and NestJS and worked from client-managed tasks that the client reviewed before release. Communication and coordination occurred via Slack, twice-weekly Zoom calls, and GitHub for project management. The engagement is intended to continue indefinitely to supply both ongoing feature work and short-term specialist expertise when required.

Project Outcome

Replaced internal video streaming platform in three weeks
Increased weekly feature throughput with consistent releases
Delivered work on time and remained under budget
Improved cross-team communication via Slack and regular Zoom calls

Quality of Deliverables

“Thanks to 99x's (formerly Nextly) efforts, the client no longer needs their internal streaming platform; the new website has replaced it. The client is pleased with 99x's (formerly Nextly) speed and output. The helpful and independent team meets deadlines, works within the budget, and requests guidance only when needed.”
