Quizmo: Social platform.

A mobile app for social networking, built with React Native and Django REST Framework. Profiles, follows, posts and notifications run on one graph, and the feed stays responsive as the community grows.

The challenge.

  • Interaction was fragmented, with no single place for people to follow and engage.
  • Users needed profiles, a feed and ways to connect and post.
  • It had to feel responsive as the graph and activity grew.
  • Moderation and reporting tools had to exist from day one, not after the first incident.

Our approach.

  • Built the mobile app with React Native for profiles, feeds and interactions.
  • Backed it with Django REST Framework to store the social graph and activity.
  • Modelled follows, posts and notifications for a live feed.
  • Tuned the feed to stay responsive as activity scales.
  • Shipped reporting, blocking and moderation tooling alongside the feed itself.

The outcome.

  • Users follow, post and interact in one place.
  • The social graph and activity are stored consistently.
  • The feed stays responsive as the community grows.
  • The community scales with moderation tools already in place.

Client feedback on our work, separate from the anonymised project described above.

One of their strengths is quickly building out a multi-disciplinary team to work on the development and delivery of features with different technical requirements. Their support has allowed us to accelerate our development work without building an internal team. They have also worked seamlessly with other third parties both during the acquisition of Dragonfly and development of our mobile app.
