Challenge

Build and launch a new web application and assist the client in building new features for mobile application.

Solution & functionality

Timspark was responsible for the end-to-end development of the Dunbar app, including both mobile and web platforms. The scope of work included creating a cross-platform mobile app using Flutter, developing the front end for the web interface with React, and ensuring seamless integration between the app and backend services.

Web application

Web application

Authentification portal

Our team realized a secure, user-friendly registration and sign-in portal using React Hook Form and Yup to validate input and smoothly handle potential errors. By leveraging AWS Cognito, we implemented customer identity and access management, ensuring users experience a secure and seamless login process.

User account management and social interaction

Users have comprehensive account management features, allowing them to edit profiles, manage users, and post content. They can engage in “circles,” connecting with others in a dynamic learning community guided by a mentor. This fosters discussion, boosts engagement, and enhances long-term motivation to learn.

Backend integration

The developers implemented efficient client-server communication via Rest API, ensuring fast, responsive, and scalable performance. This enables users to interact with content, manage profiles, and participate in community features without delay. With built-in monitoring tools, it’s possible to gain real-time insights into performance, proactively identifying potential issues before they affect the user experience.

Payment processing

We integrated a seamless payment processing system with Stripe, allowing users to join or subscribe to various learning Circles easily. This integration supports individual purchases and provides transparency with clear billing information and notifications, enhancing the user experience.

Mobile application

Mobile application

Cross-platform development with Flutter

The app is built using Flutter, which enables cross-platform development for iOS and Android. This ensures a consistent, high-quality experience across all devices while maintaining a shared codebase for faster updates and efficient maintenance.

Authentification improvements

The team made the sign-in processes quicker and more intuitive, optimizing login times and reducing friction in the authentication journey. This ensures a streamlined experience from the moment users enter the app.

User experience enhancements and bug fixes

Our engineers enhanced navigation and optimized loading times to make it easier for users to find what they need intuitively. A thorough bug fix has boosted the app’s overall stability.

Results and business value

In a pilot program for a global company with 80,000 employees, the solution addressed a key gap in their two-year development effort, namely ensuring the long-term application of newly acquired skills.

Benefits for client

The launch of the microlearning platform brought significant benefits to corporate training. Employees benefit from daily, bite-sized challenges that keep them engaged and performing at their best over the long term and apply what they’ve learned to real-world leadership situations.

One early tester shared, “The daily challenges kept me engaged and thinking about how to apply what I learned to my team. It’s the most practical, ongoing leadership development I’ve experienced.”
