Industries · Community and social
In short
Consumer apps keep people coming back through rhythm and safety, not growth hacks. Across six products, a community app with voice and video calls, a social network with request gating, a matching app that leads with an avatar, two faith companions and a personal diary, the systems that mattered most were moderation, daily content and the admin that runs them.

All case studiesCommunity
A social app where members post items, join communities, chat, call and report, with categories and moderation from an admin.
Regive is built around communities and posts. Members list what they have, browse by category, talk in chat, make voice and video calls through Agora and record audio messages. Reports, banned users and categories are handled by an admin so the community stays safe.
View caseSocial
Groups, posts, friends, follows and chat with requests, plus subscriptions and coupons, with moderation and payments in the API.
My Places is a social network with the usual pieces done properly: find friends, follow and accept requests, create groups and add people, post, and chat with request gating. Subscriptions and coupons are built into the API with payment webhooks, and an admin handles reports and content.
View caseDating
A matching app built on avatars, questions and preferences, with discovery toggles, chat and a full admin for questions, interests and reports.
Stumble asks people to build an avatar and answer the bare minimum before they see anyone, then matches on demographics and preferences rather than a camera roll. Chat opens after a match, and an admin controls the question bank, interests, avatars, reports and analytics.
View caseFaith
An Islamic companion app with daily ayah and hadith, quizzes, a journal, events, reminders and history, managed from an admin.
Path to Water gives its users a daily rhythm: an ayah and a hadith, a quiz to test understanding, a journal to reflect, reminders for events and a history of what has been read. Content, banners and events are managed by an admin so the app stays current through the year, including Ramadan.
View caseFaith
A Christian discipline app with prayers, biblical disciplines, goals, records and reminders, on a Node.js API.
Spirit Check helps people keep a daily practice: add prayers, follow biblical disciplines, set and edit goals, keep records and get notifications. The content and accounts live in an API built with Node.js and Firebase.
View caseProductivity
A personal diary app for notes, checklists, documents and renewal dates, with a calendar, categories and reminders.
Remin Diary keeps the things people forget: a document that expires, a renewal date, a checklist. Notes can be descriptive or checklist style, documents are stored with their renewal dates, and the calendar and reminders surface them before the deadline rather than after.
View caseSector notes
Six consumer apps on Flutter and Node or NestJS APIs. These are the things we would say to a community founder, a faith organisation or a social startup before the first sprint.
Regive is built around communities and posts. Members list what they have, browse by category, talk in chat, make voice and video calls through Agora and record audio messages. All of that would collapse without the admin behind it, where reports, banned users and categories are handled so the community stays safe.
My Places takes a different route to the same safety: follows and chats are gated behind requests before any contact, groups carry membership controls, and an admin handles reports and content. Both run on a Flutter front end and a NestJS and MongoDB API, with My Places adding subscriptions and coupons through payment webhooks.
Path to Water gives its users a daily rhythm: an ayah and a hadith, a quiz to test understanding, a journal to reflect, reminders for events and a history of what has been read. The content, banners and events are managed by an admin through the year, so the app stays current through Ramadan without a release, with media in S3 behind a NestJS API.
Spirit Check does the same for a Christian audience: prayers, biblical disciplines, goals, records and reminders in one daily loop on a Node.js API with Firebase. Remin Diary applies the rhythm to practical life, surfacing document renewals and checklist items before the deadline rather than after. In each case the reminder arrives ahead of the event, which is the whole point.
Stumble asks people to build an avatar and answer the bare minimum before they see anyone, then matches on demographics and preferences rather than a camera roll. Chat opens only after a match. The admin controls the question bank, interests, avatars, reports and analytics, so the product's rules can change without an app release.
The stack is Flutter with a NestJS API and sockets for chat. The design decision, avatar before photo and questions before discovery, did more for the quality of matches than any algorithm would have.
What we build
Members post, follow and chat with the gating that keeps it safe.
Calls happen in the app, not in a link to somewhere else.
Better matches from questions and preferences than from a camera roll.
Daily content and reminders arrive ahead of the moment, every day.
A paid tier runs inside the API when you want one.
Your team handles reports and bans without calling a developer.
