Project Summary

RipenApps developed the MVP for a startup's first mobile video recording app and continues to work with the client on final launch steps. The engagement included drafting an NDA and development agreement, iterative wireframes and mockups, coding a complex algorithm in Swift for native Apple recording functionality, and testing/debugging. Communication was managed through Skype, WhatsApp and Basecamp with weekly design calls and regular updates.
