Project Summary

GLOBALDEV (formerly SteelKiwi) developed a social collaboration platform (Pikurate) to help users crowdsource and curate research resources, including a bookmarking tool, collaboration features, and a vetted knowledge repository. The vendor consulted on the tech stack (Python, Django, PostgreSQL, React, Next.js, Node.js) and assembled an eight-person team. The engagement is almost complete; the team demonstrated strong documentation, flexible project management, and adherence to budget and reasonable timelines.

Key Challenges

  • No internal development team to build the platform
  • Need to create a collaborative social platform to crowdsource research and curate community-reviewed resources

Project Deliverables

  • Social collaboration platform
  • URL bookmarking tool
  • Research collaboration tool
  • Crowd-curated information repository
  • Tech stack recommendation (Python, Django, PostgreSQL, React, Next.js, Node.js)

Project Solution

SteelKiwi developed the client's social collaboration platform and consulted on selecting the tech stack (Python, Django, PostgreSQL, React, Next.js, Node.js, MobX.js). They implemented a single web product that enables users to connect around niche research topics and added three core features: a URL bookmarking tool, a research collaboration tool for sharing referenced links, and a crowd-curated collection of vetted information. The vendor delivered the product with an eight-person team (including a project manager) and provided ongoing development and consulting through iterative sprints.

Project Outcome

  • Project costs have fit the client's budget
  • Time estimates were reasonable and shorter than competitors
  • Proposed tech stack was evaluated as decent by the client's CTO
  • Strong project management with thorough documentation and flexible sprint cadence
  • Ongoing project, almost complete
