Project Summary

Django Stars built StoryTold, a communication platform for parents and children, delivering a web app and cross-platform mobile apps using React Native. The vendor handled development, UI/UX design, QA, and Azure-based infrastructure; the client praised the team's project management, responsiveness, and the product's UX prior to broader launch.

Key Challenges

Limited budget required using React Native to deliver both Android and iOS apps
Need to create a communication platform allowing parents to write stories/messages accessible to children on mobile devices

Project Deliverables

Web application for the StoryTold platform
Mobile apps for Android and iOS built with React Native
UI/UX designs
Infrastructure implemented on Microsoft Azure
QA/testing and regular Scrum ceremonies

Project Solution

Django Stars developed a cross-platform solution: a web application plus Android and iOS mobile apps built with React Native. They provided UI/UX design, QA, and implemented infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. The team ran frequent standups and maintained close communication, supporting beta testing and preparing for a paid launch.

Project Outcome

Positive early user feedback with strong UX/UI since launch (2.5 months)
Professionals found profile management easy
Infrastructure implemented on Azure quickly despite vendor inexperience with Azure
Delivered a high-quality website and cross-platform app meeting client requirements
