Project Overview

Tripster is a startup that has recently begun its journey and is fast gaining popularity among Smartphone users. It is based on the idea of sharing travel memories, exploring new destinations, and making friends all around the world, with the help of a social networking platform. Tripster believed in the potential of a technological solution to fulfill their business goals. The company had complete trust in their idea, and in 2020 they joined hands with HackerKernel to give their business plan a real form.

To create a development solution that can make travel a virtual reality and bridge distances between places that are situated miles apart. After assessing the needs of our client, we decided to develop a social media app that consists of features that are present in all popular social networking sites and apps. These features then had to be customized based on the travel-specific needs of our client. We set our goal to make the app not only interactive but useful for a traveler to plan his/ her journey. The app has many custom-made features that set it apart.

Planning and Execution

UI/UX Design

A traveler has an eye for beauty and appeal. For any social media user to get attracted to our app, the app must outshine others not only by its functionality but also appearance:

  • Tripster has an interface built with pleasing and light UI colors that add to the appeal of the application.
  • The app is organized for a better user experience and all other features are easily visible, placed at the right spot by convention.
  • The app can be navigated easily by the user and has an intuitive UI so that any smartphone user can go through it without much effort.
  • It opens with the home page filled with the latest posts and news feed for the user to remain updated.
  • The dashboard that can be accessed from the top right corner has all functions compiled like Home, My Radar, Experience, etc.
  • Main functions like notifications, Experiences, Planning Schedule, and adding to your story are right there for the convenience of the user.
  • The app works fast for any user to post quickly on the go.
  • The search bar allows the user to filter searches based on requirements.

Obstacles discovered

We faced the following difficulties:

  • The major obstacle that we faced in the deployment of this project was to adjust to the needs of a startup company.
  • It was challenging to deliver a complex social media app that should work without any glitches, with A-to-Z functionalities with a small team.

Solutions

We adopted the following solutions:

  • We employed our best team to complete the project within a time frame that did not harm the budget plans of our client.
  • Our team carefully followed first-time-right coding procedures, so that testing and debugging required a minimum amount of time, and everything works well.

Final Product

Our team began its work by designing the template for UI that suited the frame of Tripster. Few weeks were employed in the planning of all features and their organization within a single app.

The front-end of the application was developed for Android and iOS versions of the app. It took us some weeks to come to the back-end of the app. AI features were coded and everything was combined.Tripster was an amazing journey for us. We were able to combine the best of Travel App Development and Social Media industry features in a solution that serves both.

  • "Hussain and his team help me by taking over 2 apps development and firebase database + new web admin page. It was not easy to understand the code of the previous developer and to fix his bugs, but they successfully did it, and also they added new functionalities in short timing. They are committed to their work. They do what is required so I had to provide them with very detailed specifications for the work. They are professional and they do all the efforts to deliver on time. My project was timing critical and they did not hesitate to do overtime to fit this requirement. I fully recommend them and I will continue working with them with pleasure."
