Touchtap
Ruby on Rails / SwiftTouchtap needed a partner to design and build a mobile API platform for a Peer-to-Peer Marketplace, social networking, and event management platform.
The Challenge
Touchtap needed a partner who could not only design, build and deploy a robust mobile API, but also help with mobile application development.Our Solution
We created a Rails 5 web application to connect with social networks, manage items for sale, process transactions, and provide interactions between users.
Project Management
In addition to our design and custom software solution services, we sometimes provide project management when our clients need help planning, tracking and iterating on a project.
For this project, we planned and tracked project progress for everyone involved in the project, across multiple organizations, using Slack, Github, and TeamWork.
Rails API
We originally investigated using a customizable open source solution to jump start work on this MVP for the client, however after further evaluation it was not feasible to use this product.
Instead we developed a custom Rails 5 application providing registration, a P2P (peer-to-peer) market place that processed payments using Stripe Connect, a social feed, social networking and messaging features.
The delivered API includes full documentation on Apiary and a comprehensive test suite.
iOS Development
After we completed and launched the API, we were able to join forces with Touchtap to help finish development on the native Swift 3 app.
We created the registration, login, account settings and some of the marketplace logic in the mobile application.
