About
The client is well-known TV celebrity in the USA who talks about travel journey and experiences with the people. He approached Brainvire for his idea to reach more people via a digital platform.
The USA-based client has already worked with Brainvire for feature-rich social media app development, BragShare. BragShare is a unique social media platform that makes social sharing more organized and meaningful. Satisfied with the services and skills, they’ve asked Brainvire once again for developing a travel journal mobile app for iOS and Android. The client required to develop a mobile application that serves a purpose of tracking users’ moments and login them to the journal which will be served as a memory.
Project Highlights
Brainvire is known for delivering high-end and state-of-the-art mobile applications regardless of the domain. This time, Brainvire puts extra efforts to develop a mobile application that help users keep the track of their own journey, share them with friends, or record them as memories. It is an elevated way to share your memories real-time.
The Challenges
- Auto-tracking and give real-time suggestionIt was a tough task for Brainvire’s developers to integrate auto-tracking module in the app. The app should feature a mode where they can get push notifications based on the real-time. The challenging part was to architect a module where battery drain, while GPS is activated, is least. Additionally, it was also tough to identify well-known places of users and most popular location in particular surrounding. There was one more challenge to determine when to notify the user to pin a specific location.
- Mapping the path of the user with their friendsFor the majority of the travelers, documenting and sharing their trips on social media is exciting. While creating this app, developers encountered many challenges and one of them was mapping path of the user with their friends to generate the common location data points.
- Implement Artificial Intelligence AlgorithmThe major challenge was to develop matchmaking algorithm which takes multiple inputs out of which major is a user’s location and then provides nearby users’ suggestions. It was quite challenging to develop an algorithm that can provide such features.
- Fetching past and current events from userssocial media platforms to create a journal People already have travel journey log on different social media platforms and the majority of the people don’t like to rewrite it. It was challenging to integrate social media platforms to fetch past and current event from users’ accounts to create a journal. Brainvire’s skilled developers were asked to integrate social media platforms from which users’ can fetch past events and current journey to create a journal without fewer efforts.
