Project Summary

Anadea developed and designed a digital newspaper for Bulletin, delivering an MVP and subsequent front- and back-end development, UI/UX design, and integrated publishing software with paywall and social-media/database integrations. The team used Kotlin and Spring with PostgreSQL on the backend and TypeScript with Angular and Bootstrap on the frontend. Communication was handled via Slack, daily calls, and sprint demos, and development followed Agile and extreme programming practices.

Key Challenges

Build an entirely digital, high-end publishing platform integrated with social media and analytics
Implement integrated publishing software for journalists and a subscription paywall
Client lacked technical expertise and required the vendor to lead development and best practices

Project Deliverables

MVP
Frontend application (TypeScript/Angular)
Backend services (Kotlin/Spring/PostgreSQL)
Integrated publishing software and paywall
Testing, promotion, and SEO work

Project Solution

Anadea led the end-to-end development and design of the client's entirely digital newspaper. They created an MVP, then iterated on UX/UI and features, polished the product, performed testing, and ran promotion and SEO work. The vendor implemented frontend and backend systems (TypeScript/Angular frontend; Kotlin/Spring/PostgreSQL backend), built integrated publishing software and paywall functionality, and coordinated work through Agile sprints with communication via Slack and daily calls.

Project Outcome

Met or exceeded expectations on launch, budget, and product quality
Successful product launch with a high-quality deliverable
Effective communication via Slack, daily calls, and sprint demos
