Media Sharing Platform

Ducktindo is a social media platform where you can share videos and images and connect with millions of people who share the things you love.

The client approached Branex to develop a media-sharing app where users can post their stories, images, and videos and even apply filters. The Ducktindo app incorporates lots of compelling new features that you won’t find on other similar media sharing platforms. The client requested us to incorporate out-of-the-box features, such as the ability to create challenges that help you earn coins (points) from your followers, as well as allowing users to join specific chat groups to connect with people of similar interests and talk and read about their favorite things. The app is developed with a strong web-based admin panel to support all the functionality synonymous with a media sharing platform, such as chatrooms, profiles, posts, filters, emojis, and search categories.

Ducktindo: Built for Connection – Where Videos, Images & Chats Come Alive

After the initial kick-off meetings with the clients and an extended open-ended conversation with stakeholders about the specifications and features, our team joined their heads together for an intense brainstorming session. We aimed to keep the Information Architecture simple to organize the content in the app in a way that reduces the number of clicks by users to perform a given task. We came up with multiple concepts for the app, sketched wireframes to visualize the usability and feasibility of the design and presented them to our client for review.

After this, our design and development team came together to create a road map for an equally functional and aesthetically pleasing app. We started by designing the interface of the app and moved to the functional features. We instilled important APIs that are needed for an application to keep the flow for users at par. Our developers made sure to optimize the app for different mobile devices so that the app can run smoothly without any glitches. We added categories and subcategories to make it easier for a user to find the perfect skilled person for a specific job. To add one more feather to the cap, we used React JS for the development of the admin panel and Firebase for the database system.
