Our task
The client has hired our team to develop a top-tier online platform for data collection and sharing.
Our specialists were required to develop a platform that could fetch a lot of content pieces from different sources and arrange them on one screen. Also, we were requested to create the functionality to help sports fans connect with each other, share their thoughts, etc.
Implementation
To develop a product that meets all the requirements specified by the client, our team had to find solutions to several challenges.
Challenges
Our tech experts were required to solve many issues to develop a top-notch application. We had to create an online application that fetches a lot of information from different sources and puts it on one screen. The data should be updated in live time to deliver the most current statistics. Also, assigned software engineers had to integrate valuable third-party services into the platform.
Solutions
For starters, our team has defined all the problems and created a thorough implementation plan to develop an application with the required functionality.
Social media functionality
Sports fans can communicate with like-minded people, make new connections, join communities, etc. Also, they can send direct messages and create group chats.
The developed platform has a convenient interface. It foresees the opportunity to discover the platform’s users and connect with them.
Also, users can host and join audio rooms to communicate with other fans using voice messages.
Content sharing and consuming
Our team has integrated an open-source tried-and-tested digital solution to add social media functionality.
The open-source solution was customized to meet the established UX/UI standards.
It offers the opportunity for users to do the following:
- create and manage threads
- create and publish posts
- search, filter, and sort publications
- discover new publications of followed users on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.
High performance
Since many distinctive content pieces are displayed, a unique solution was developed to keep the high performance.
All the content pieces are divided into two parts:
- Static: text, images, videos, etc.
- Dynamic: likes, comments, polls, statistics, reactions, etc.
The use of static content reduces the load on the application. Dynamic and static content pieces are merged in the frontend.
Content arrangement
A large number of content pieces are fetched from different sources and are displayed on one screen.
Our team has developed a well-thought-out layout to arrange all the elements so that users can consume the content conveniently.
The app’s interface combines several news feeds that are updated automatically. Users can scroll to discover new content pieces.
User engagement
In order to keep the platform’s users engaged, our team has developed and added a lot of features that enrich communication and improve user experience. The top features:
- links sharing
- comments
- polls
- reactions
