Project Summary

Vention (formerly iTechArt Group) built a Reddit-style community forum inside an iOS app for a health brand (Aavia), repaired prior forum bugs, migrated backend data from Firebase to Firestore, and now provides ongoing maintenance with bi-weekly feature releases. The developers were communicative, adapted to the client's culture, and worked iteratively using TestFlight before public releases.

Key Challenges

  • Build a community forum inside the app where members and medical advisors can post and interact
  • Improve stability and correctness of comments and post ordering
  • Build out insights, health logging, onboarding, and revamp the Bluetooth protocol for the hardware device

Project Deliverables

  • Reddit-style community/forum page for the iOS app
  • Migration from Firebase to Firestore
  • Onboarding flow and actionable insights based on health logs
  • Revamped Bluetooth protocol for the hardware device
  • Bi-weekly app builds/releases

Project Solution

The vendor implemented a Reddit-style community page in the client's iOS app from provided wireframes and designs, iterated via TestFlight over multiple two-week cycles, and addressed Apple safety requirements before launch. They fixed forum bugs, migrated the backend from Firebase to Firestore, implemented new onboarding and insights features, revamped the Bluetooth protocol for the client's hardware, and now deliver bi-weekly builds. The engagement is staffed by two iOS developers.

Project Outcome

  • Fixed forum issues (comments on wrong posts, missing comments, incorrect ordering)
  • Migrated backend data from Firebase to Firestore
  • Established a bi-weekly release cadence with more reliable forum UX

Quality of Deliverables

Problems that already existed in the community forum, like missing or misplaced comments and messy posts, were fixed by Vention (formerly iTechArt Group). They also helped us move from Firebase to Firestore. Communication was good, and the developers fit into the company culture.
