Project Summary

TeaCode.io built a React Native mobile app for a travel-planning company that aggregates group preferences to create daily itineraries and includes a social feed for sharing trips. The application went live in January 2023 and is growing about 30% month-over-month, with nearly 700 users and roughly 50% monthly active users. TeaCode.io provided end-to-end development and ongoing support, using AWS Amplify/AppSync and DynamoDB on the backend and supporting project management and QA.

Key Challenges

Find a reputable development partner to build the mobile app under an aggressive timeline
Founder lacked programming experience and needed a team to translate business requirements into code
Reduce group trip planning time from hours to minutes by automating itinerary creation

Project Deliverables

Mobile application (React Native frontend)
Group preference aggregation and itinerary recommendation algorithm
Social in-app feed and trip tagging features
Backend GraphQL API using AWS Amplify/AppSync
Amazon DynamoDB database
QA automation support

Project Solution

TeaCode.io worked from initial concept through delivery, translating the client’s idea into concrete steps and implementing two primary features: a group voting flow that aggregates preferences into a daily itinerary (considering hours and proximity) and a social feed to share trips and tag experiences. The team developed a React Native frontend with React Query and TypeScript, and built the backend using AWS Amplify with GraphQL/AppSync and Amazon DynamoDB. They also delivered personalized recommendation functionality (T-Recs) and provided QA automation and project management support.

Project Outcome

Application live since January 2023
Growth of ~30% month-over-month
Almost 700 users with ~50% monthly active users
Client reports strong responsiveness, flexibility, and satisfaction with budget and timing

Quality of Deliverables

“The application is live, and it continues to grow by 30% month-over-month. Teacode.io is outstandingly responsive, hardworking, and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to not only understand the specification, but also advise when they believe something will be unintuitive to an end user.”
