Sports Social Network App [Case Study]

Challenge

An exciting project we recently worked on - a social network for amateur soccer athletes. The client is a young startup. They picked us as an outsourcing team for sports social network development that is aimed to create a sports social network where athletes could connect, form teams, challenge other teams, and schedule soccer matches.

To make the sports social media app to be the one that soccer players longed for, we set up an advanced notification system to support request/accept/reject flow as well as built-in chat and multi-language support, including Arabic RTL.

The startup had tight budget limitations and a special request was to keep within the budget by managing the scope and priorities wisely.

The project isn’t a full-fledged product, but a pared-down MVP. We enabled the sports social network app with the primary features as the clients wanted to test the idea first and get piloted to further app development.

Technology stack used

The application is completed with React Native and Node.js. Heavily powered by Firebase for chat and an advanced matchmaking notifications system. Our designers took great pains to craft a clear and intuitive interface for the team management experience to be easy and enjoyable.

Solution

As a result, an innovative app was designed, developed, and published in the stores. The app was developed with React Native. It also heavily used Firebase to implement chats, SMS authentication, and a notifications system. The application was released and it received very positive feedback both from the users and the local startup community.

After the successful MVP release, there was another expansion request to add the admin interface for app management and add a workflow for special events organized by the startup team - tournaments.
