A LAMP Community App for People to Connect.

A mobile app development company wanted to reduce the distance between people and let them share views through a trusted medium. Brainvire used the LAMP stack, Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, to build a community app with Facebook outreach, always-on availability, email-based member interaction, and in-app reminders for events.

/ About the client

Mobile App Development Company

The client is a mobile app development company focused on building and launching apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and PhoneGap. The company aims to reduce the distance between people and let them share views and thoughts through a trusted, beneficial medium, and it has experience in social media.

Brainvire used LAMP technology, which stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. The stack is open source, with the Linux operating system, the Apache web server, the MySQL database, and PHP as the scripting language.

/ The approach

Design, architecture, and features, shipped as one program.

/01Awareness

Reach through Facebook

People had to learn about the new product, so the team used Facebook, one of the most widely used social platforms, to reach them and raise awareness.

/02Availability

Ready any time

The system had to be available at all times, so the app runs within a few clicks whenever a user needs it.

/03Interaction

Members in touch

The app is built on interaction, so email serves as a medium that lets users connect and share their views.

/04Reminders

No event missed

Users were not informed of events, so the app lets them set reminders that notify them of any upcoming event.

/ What stood in the way

Four problems, solved without a maintenance window.

Lack of social media exposure

People had to become aware of a new product entering the market. Facebook, one of the most widely used social platforms, reaches people and makes them aware of the product or service.

Availability at any time

The system had to be available for use at any time. Mobile apps are easy to use at any point, within a few clicks, so the app is always on hand.

Interaction with other members

As a system based on interacting with others, it needed a way to do so. Email serves as the medium, so app users interact with each other and share their views.

Intimation of all events

The app had failed to inform users about any event that might take place. Users now set reminders in the app that notify them of any occurring event.
