Project Summary

STDev took over most of the design and development of a photography platform (ClikNview), building the backend in Ruby on Rails and the frontend in React. They implemented robust features for large resumable uploads, provided QA and design services, and continue to support and iterate on the live platform. Internal stakeholders are satisfied with the quality and technical execution.

Key Challenges

Lack of internal time and resources to complete the platform.
Need to support large/resumable file uploads reliably.
Require full-stack development and design support to bring the product to market.

Project Deliverables

Photography platform (live)
Resumable large-file upload capability
Backend in Ruby on Rails
Frontend in React
Design mockups and UI iterations
QA services

Project Solution

STDev largely took over the client's design and development work, acting as the main contributor for frontend and backend coding and providing QA. They implemented a robust resumable large-file upload system to handle interrupted uploads, built the platform using Ruby on Rails with React on the frontend, and produced design mockups which were iterated until approved. Communication was managed primarily through a single project manager and regular updates via Slack.

Project Outcome

The product is live and internal stakeholders are satisfied despite limited user growth to date.
The platform is robust with few bugs or failures.
STDev delivered high-quality, prompt work and provided valuable technical and design recommendations.
