Project Solution

Nickelfox built the MVP and then became the client's ongoing development team, developing a web application using Next.js for the web framework, React for the administration panel, Go for the backend, MySQL for the database, and Google Cloud for hosting. They implemented a recommendation engine that attributes catalog products and matches them with filters based on occasion and relationship, built an integrated data-collection feature to improve recommendations, and delivered an attribute-rich UI to help users find products. They continue to provide continuous development, project management, and weekend support as needed.
