Project Summary

Hakuna Matata developed an Android mobile app for a startup enabling one-on-one discussions between individuals and public figures, delivering a prototype, wireframes, UI design, and development. The team brought in a dedicated UI designer, used Node.js and AWS for hosting, and met budget and deadline targets. The app received positive early feedback, though the client noted some communication improvements and outstanding minor tweaks.
