Crewww

Crewww is a Singapore-based startup with a simple yet powerful idea: connect people through quickly arranged events.

Client

The Crewww app already attracts thousands of daily users, demonstrating strong interest in the concept. It enables users to quickly create location-based events and share them with others with minimal effort. The platform is designed for small groups of 3 to 8 people who have never met before, encouraging them to connect by creating and joining events scheduled within the next 72 hours.

Goal

Crewww had a fresh and compelling idea, backed by founders who are established design professionals in Singapore and self-funded the project. Now entering its investment phase, the startup needed a fully functional and convenient mobile app to bring the concept to life. With limited time and the requirement for seamless, fast performance on both Android and iOS, we proposed a non-native engineering approach.

THE SOLUTION

We recommended building a progressive web app (PWA) using React Native, rather than developing separate native applications for iOS and Android. This solution delivered all the required features while also making the app accessible via the web – not just on mobile devices.
A key advantage was the use of a single shared codebase for both iOS and Android, streamlining development and maintenance. Additionally, we implemented a fully functional desktop version of the Crewww app, ensuring a consistent and seamless experience across all devices.

END-TO-END DEVELOPMENT

We started with prototype mockups and detailed UX flow descriptions, which were carefully reviewed in collaboration with the client to clarify all user scenarios and edge cases. Based on these insights, we prepared comprehensive technical specifications and defined a clear development roadmap outlining each stage of the project. Once everything was approved, we moved into development.

The backend was built with Node.js, alongside a custom API to connect seamlessly with the React Native frontend. The frontend included geolocation features, which were successfully implemented using React Native capabilities. After completing both the frontend and backend, we carried out testing in line with the established plan and deployed the app on a secure HTTPS domain.
