Project Summary
JetRuby developed an MVP prototype for a college-market social safety iOS app and a live-updating web dashboard, coding the web in React and the mobile app in Objective-C and integrating with a Bluetooth-enabled device. They helped prioritize user stories and constrained feature scope to fit a tight budget while building admin databases and APIs. The client praised their low cost, high-quality reusable code, adherence to sprint deadlines, and strong direct communication with developers.
Key Challenges
- Develop first MVP prototype for mobile and web
- Implement Bluetooth integration and firmware communication with a Bluetooth-enabled device
- Address specific user stories under a very tight budget
- Prioritize features and define must-haves versus good-to-haves within budget constraints
Project Deliverables
- Live-updating web dashboard
- iOS mobile app (Objective-C)
- Integrated API/server solution
- Admin databases
- Bluetooth integration
Project Solution
JetRuby developed the web app first (built in React) as a live-updating dashboard receiving signals from the mobile apps via APIs. They built the iOS mobile app in Objective-C and integrated systems to communicate with the dashboard, then implemented admin databases and refined the mobile and web user experience. The team worked with the client to prioritize user stories into must-haves and good-to-haves and executed multiple development sprints within budget constraints.
Project Outcome
- Complete MVP approved for TestFlight and demo-ready
- High-quality, reusable code that the client's CGO can work from
- Met sprint deadlines and responded quickly to requests
- Delivered functionality for a much lower cost than in-house or other firms' quotes
