Project Description

The project, being made for females in the UK was supposed to serve as a safe space to talk about haressment and assault at home and schools/colleges. Owing to the sensitivity of the matter, the design's entire focus was on stealth and it served as a calculator for someone who did not know the pin to access the app. This entire design was implemented in React Native to serve multiple platforms using a single codebase. The database in Postgres which was maintained using Strapi, a content management service with the capability of building custom APIs in Node.js as a backend.

Product Mentorship

The Hopeful Home product was envisioned by four girls in their final year of school in the UK. They wanted a safe place for girls their age to talk about harassment and assault at home and school/college. Our role was to mentor them and develop the idea into a product.

Safety First

Knowing the sensitivity of the subject, the Hopeful Home app has been designed to work in stealth. The app opens and works as a calculator. Only after the specific interactions, the main application is revealed.

High Quality ReactNative App

Looking at the social direction of the app and the need to release it soon, it was essential to choose a hybrid application development method. This app was developed in ReactNative so that it can be released faster while keeping it a high-quality application.
