Project Summary

Blackbird Lab served as the custom development partner for a Toronto-based retail technology company, building roughly 80% of the product from scratch using MongoDB, JavaScript, Remix, Sanity, Storybook, GitHub, and Apollo. The vendor delivered a fully functional MVP in two weeks, managed the project via Slack, and maintained a collaborative culture that adapted to feedback. The engagement began in January 2021 and is ongoing.

  • Need for an experienced development partner to take direction and build autonomously.

  • Core product (approximately 80% of the solution)
