Client

Spatiotemporal Analytics Startup

Denver, United States of America

Project Summary

A spatiotemporal analytics startup engaged MindInventory to design and build a web user interface for a key visualization. MindInventory pivoted from an IPython widget to focus on a D3.js-powered web UI and delivered a reusable UI skeleton. The client was pleased with the result, noted effective Slack communication across time zones, and reported only minor initial miscommunications that were promptly resolved.

Key Challenges

No in-house web developers to build the UI.
Need for UI design and development for an important visualization intended for integration with an IPython widget.
Limited internal time to build the UI themselves.

Project Deliverables

Web user interface with D3.js-driven visualizations.
Reusable UI skeleton for integration in multiple places.
Project management and engineering support during delivery.

Project Solution

MindInventory was engaged after outreach and portfolio review. After a short introduction call and an initial investigation into building an IPython widget, the team pivoted to build a web interface. They implemented a data-driven UI using D3.js, delivered a reusable UI skeleton, and staffed the project with a project manager and an engineer. Communication was handled via Slack and frequent calls across opposing time zones.

Project Outcome

Deliverable met the client's requirements and was "pretty much exactly what we needed."
Communication worked well via Slack despite opposite time zones.
Minor scope miscommunications were quickly resolved and not billed.
