The project

SENDERS is a dynamic social platform developed specifically for the cycling community and aimed at mountain bikers, BMX riders and other cycling enthusiasts. The app allows users to upload and share photos and videos of their cycling skills. Community features such as voting, comments, and interactive leaderboards encourage user engagement. A central element of the platform is the “Riders Map”, which allows users to discover and rate bike parks, trails, pump tracks and other locations. In addition, SENDERS offers coaching features that enable users to connect with professional trainers and access an extensive academy that includes courses on driving techniques, mindset, sponsorship, and content creation. Gamification elements increase interaction by rewarding users with points, levels, and leaderboards.

The process

The development of SENDERS began with intensive meetings to understand the customer's requirements and implement their vision of a social platform for cycling enthusiasts. Our team worked closely with stakeholders and used an Agile Scrum methodology to ensure continuous feedback and iterative improvements. Features such as media uploads, mapping features, and real-time interactions were implemented in sprints. Regular coordination and feedback loops enabled us to optimize the user experience and improve app performance.

Technologies

To create a robust and scalable platform that can handle large amounts of user-generated content and real-time interactions, we implemented a clean architecture that provides flexibility and scalability for future expansions.

  • Front-end development: The app was built with Flutter to ensure a consistent user experience across iOS and Android devices. A single code base reduces development effort and guarantees a consistent UI/UX.
  • Backend development: The backend is based on Node.js and uses MongoDB as a database to ensure high-performance, non-relational data processing. AWS was integrated for scalability and storage to ensure fast and reliable delivery of content.
  • Real-Time Interactions: For features such as chat, comments, and leaderboard updates, we've implemented WebSockets to provide seamless, real-time, interactive communication.
  • Push notifications: With Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), we've implemented push notifications that notify users of new comments, messages, and leaderboard changes, increasing engagement.
  • Analytics and feedback: With the help of Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics, we were able to gain insights into user behavior and optimize the stability of the app. This helped us identify vulnerabilities and improve the user experience.
  • Version control and deployment: We used Git to ensure efficient team collaboration and seamless integration of new features. Docker was used for consistent development, test, and deployment environments.

The combination of these technologies enabled us to develop a dynamic and interactive platform that supports a vibrant community of cycling enthusiasts and promotes continuous learning and interaction.
