Project Summary

JetRuby Agency developed a web application for Sortly, Inc., implementing a Ruby on Rails backend and a JavaScript-based frontend, and provided UX design and frontend execution. The site complements the client's existing iOS app, has driven high user praise, and contributed to the client's highest revenue level; the client expects JetRuby to run the engineering team until an in-house hire.
