About Hunny App

A dating app with profiles made up of videos rather than pictures

The Hunny is a dating app with profiles made up of videos rather than pictures. The Hunny App enables users to view the uploaded video within 5 miles of distance. The app lets users show their energy, their voice, their moves, and their friends. With an aim to establish new ways of meeting people around them, the app lets users post their videos, like their matches, chat with one another, and enjoy and relish much more in just a click.

The Challenges

The app was initially built with a React Native-expo framework and thus it was very slow in its performance. The project being built on the Expo framework was not open for customized add-on functionalities like the in-app subscription to configure for the subscription purpose.

The codebase was not re-used properly and hence had more complexity and less readability when including a new developer in the project.

The app had many UI alignment issues and it caused poor usability on the Android.

The app was prone to threat and any third person could threaten the data as the backend had no security with Firestore DB. The DB was missing adding indexes to make the query efficient.

The Solutions

Used React Hooks to improve the readability of the component trees in React dev tools and encapsulate the side effects of a component in less code. Composable and reusable components are easily achieved because of the functional components with react hooks.

Clean code architecture was built with the entire codebase and implemented the components to reuse for the app.

The overall design element of the app was fixed and updated with a responsive design that had the best UX-wise usability.

Database-wise, added Firestore rules to DB to ensure high-level security from hackers and added indexes based on requirements so that it's easy to query the data.

Timeline

Merging our unique solution in 15 weeks

Hunny App’s success depended on the perfect functioning of three features - social media-like media posting videos, like their match, and in-app messaging. Planning, designing, and building these features with high performance and security assurance translated into 15 weeks of agile development.

We had an excellent experience working with this team to develop our dating app. Their responsiveness was outstanding, with quick replies to every request and question. I truly valued their communication. After having had bad experiences with previous app development companies, I was very impressed with their professionalism and quality of work. The team designed our app beautifully, and it functions exactly as intended. They consistently checked in with me, sought my opinion, and ensured alignment throughout the project. As a startup, I appreciated their milestone payment option and their genuine commitment to building a strong client relationship. I highly recommend their services.
