Proposed Solution

We decided to create two apps for Android and iOS separately using Flutter, making sure that both exhibit consistent user experience regardless of the device. A high-performance, data-related NodeJS backend that supports secure database access and rapid API development. This tech stack empowered us to develop a secure and scalable social networking mobile app that supported the expansion requirements of our client.

Why We Chose This Solution?

To provide a performant and cutting-edge Social Networking App solution, we developed this app using flutter and nodejs. Here is why we choose this solution.

  • With Flutter we coded twice for Android and iOS and had the same look and feel on all devices which prevented us from having different designs/features.
  • We built the APIs and our data processing was super quickly using NodeJS, which provides an excellent throughput with minimalistic latency at a high-speed backend.
  • The tech stack we chose offers security but also reliable data handling, along with scalability in a way that suits the growth of the app.
  • Using a single codebase for both platforms with Flutter helped us to deliver more quickly as we reduced the time-to-market and costs while not diminishing the performance.

Benefit of This Solution

Dormhub — as an app provides other benefits too, making it both easy to use across Android and iOS for students and helping campus communities grow stronger than ever.
