Project Summary

Walkwel Technology was engaged to build the beta version of a chat website for a social-industry startup, implementing core features such as text chat, video chat, and interest-matching using AngularJS. The project has been plagued by recurring major bugs, remains incomplete, and the client reported declining managerial support and issues with the vendor's milestone-based, upfront payment structure.

Key Challenges

  • Develop a beta chat website with text and video chat
  • Implement a mutual interest-matching algorithm

Project Deliverables

  • Chat website (beta)
  • Text chat functionality
  • Video chat functionality

Quality of Deliverables

“Despite major recurring bugs, Walkwel Technology has yet to complete the project. Project management was supportive and helpful at the outset, but began to dwindle as persistent issues plagued the website. Their upfront pricing structure has left several milestones flawed or incomplete.”
