Portland, United States of America

Project Summary

Darwoft provides frontend development for a VC-funded AI personal assistant startup, converting the client's designs into production-ready frontend code. The team submits code to the client's repository, runs deployments to a staging environment, performs progressive production rollouts, and helps identify and fix bugs. The ongoing engagement began in August 2023 and the client reports strong communication, high-quality work, and adherence to timelines and budget.

Key Challenges

Needed a cost-effective offshore frontend development partner in a similar timezone
Required a team that could independently implement designs from mockups and integrate with the client's repo and deployment process

Project Deliverables

Frontend implementation from Figma mockups
Code submissions to the repository
Staging deployments and progressive production rollouts
Bug fixes and ticketing via Linear

Project Solution

Darwoft builds the product frontend from the client's Figma mockups, implements components using JavaScript with NestJS on top of React, and uses the Flowbite toolkit. They submit code to the client's repository, run it in a staging environment, and perform progressive production rollouts to a subset of users. Darwoft also files and resolves bugs (tracked in Linear) and communicates primarily via Slack.

Project Outcome

High-quality frontend work with few issues
Identified and fixed existing bugs; filed tickets
Met deadlines and stayed on budget
Smooth staging deployments with no major problems
