Project Summary

STX Next supplemented the client’s internal team to rebuild an online Buddhist library by implementing the backend in Python, configuring an ArangoDB database with JSON data feeds, and building a Polymer-based Progressive Web App to enable offline mobile access. The engagement ran from October 2017 to March 2018, cost about $150,000, and the client reported positive reception and close collaboration using agile practices, Jira, and Slack.

Key Challenges

  • Rebuild a website that had been in place since 2005.
  • Provide additional development capacity beyond the internal team’s work on templates and designs.
  • Deliver an offline-capable experience for mobile users in developing countries.

Project Deliverables

  • ArangoDB database
  • Progressive Web App (PWA) built with Polymer

Project Outcome

  • The site was well received and generated a lot of positive feedback.
  • Bugs were addressed collaboratively after launch.
  • The client reported improved processes and knowledge transfer through agile practices.
