Project Summary

Railwaymen developed a dating mobile app from existing wireframes and spec sheets, producing iOS and Android versions and the supporting backend. The team refined UI/UX, broke the work into four milestones, implemented a React Native front end with a Ruby on Rails backend, and set up AWS hosting, push/SMS notifications, and beta testing via TestFlight and Firebase. The app was delivered in about five months and the client reported satisfaction with deliverables and project communication.

Project Solution

Railwaymen refined the client's UI/UX and finalized scope through a series of meetings, then executed development broken into four milestones. They implemented the front end in React Native (to reduce time/costs) while the backend was written in Ruby on Rails. They set up AWS hosting, push notifications and SMS via Twilio, and configured Apple and Google developer consoles, TestFlight, and Firebase for beta testing. The vendor provided a dedicated product manager as the main contact and a team of engineers and QA to deliver the app to production.

Project Outcome

App delivered in about 5 months, meeting estimates.
Client satisfied with deliverables and ongoing support for bug fixes and scope changes.
