Project Summary

Brainhub developed a custom internal communication tool for a financial/market research firm using TypeScript and React.js, with features including push notifications. The engagement remains ongoing; UX testing conducted with employees improved the design and stakeholders have given positive feedback. Brainhub's proactive communication and adaptability to evolving specifications contributed to high code quality and efficient delivery.

Key Challenges

Build a custom internal communication tool rather than using an off-the-shelf solution (e.g., Slack)
