Project Summary

GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) built the MVP of a location-based social media app for Android and iOS using the client's provided screens. They redesigned provided mockups, implemented core features including location-specific feeds, user profiles, and messaging, and helped launch the MVP with Mailgun and AWS infrastructure. The MVP launched and met requirements; the client praised the team's communication, responsiveness, and competitive pricing and engaged them for follow-on work.

Key Challenges

  • Develop a cross-platform Android and iOS application based on provided designs.
  • Implement location-specific feeds, messaging, user profiles, and a time-limited posting system for an MVP.

Project Deliverables

  • Mobile app (Android and iOS) built with Flutter
  • Location-based feed using Google Maps
  • User profiles and friends-only feeds
  • Messaging functionality
  • Redesigned screens in InVision
  • Mailgun account setup
  • AWS server setup
  • Launched MVP

Project Solution

The vendor redesigned the client's 70+ Figma mockups in InVision and built the mobile app from scratch using Google Flutter. They implemented a Google Maps-based, location-specific feed with radius- and time-limited posts, user profiles, friends-only feeds, messaging, and customizable backgrounds. After development, they launched the MVP, created a Mailgun account for email, and set up AWS servers for hosting and backend infrastructure.

Project Outcome

  • The MVP launched and functions well.
  • The engagement led to additional work (a website) and ongoing collaboration.
  • The vendor delivered high-quality work on time and at competitive prices, with strong communication.
