The problem

The client needed a single platform spanning native mobile apps, a web experience and internal moderation, with real-time features that hold up under load and infrastructure they would not have to babysit.

What we built

We built and shipped every surface, stood up the cloud infrastructure including a self-hosted real-time audio server, and handled the migration and release process across app stores and the web.
