Tools
React Native, Firebase, Swift
Along with my co-founder and friend Jacob, I built a platform to teach STEM to middle schoolers. The platform provides carefully curated lessons to make learning into a daily habit. The app is on the App Store and Google Play and gained 1300+ users in 6 months.
The layout of the app, built with React Native/Swift/Expo. Implemented infinite scroll with optimized rendering and live leaderboard updates.
The daily lessons. They were implemented in an extremely modular way, supporting a wide range of media like images, videos, text, and multiple choice questions. Built a custom JSON schema for lesson content with Firebase Cloud Functions handling validation. Also integrates with user data.
The onboarding flow guides users through an example lesson. Implemented username validation with profanity filter using the bad-words library.
The Runway website, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS to showcase the app's features.
An early stage of the app. The early concepts focused on gamification and social features, which were later refined to emphasize the core daily lesson experience.
Marketing concept video, showcasing the app's user flow.
Runway reaches 1,300+ users across 100+ countries (tracked with App Store Connect and Google Play Console).
