Details

Hidden Gemz is seeking a team of learners to contribute to the development of its city exploration mobile app. The project involves enhancing the app by implementing 1-2 new features that will enrich the user experience. The app is built using React Native with TypeScript, and it leverages Amazon Web Services for cloud functionalities and PostgreSQL for database management. Participants will have access to guided design materials and will collaborate with Hidden Gemz's development team. This project offers learners the opportunity to apply their knowledge of mobile app development, particularly in TypeScript, while gaining practical experience in a real-world setting. The goal is to deliver seamless and engaging features that align with the existing app architecture and user interface.

Deliverables

The deliverables for this project include the successful implementation of 1-2 new features within the mobile app. These features should be fully functional, tested, and integrated into the existing app framework. Additionally, learners are expected to provide documentation detailing the development process, including code explanations and user instructions. The final deliverables should enhance the app's functionality and user engagement while maintaining consistency with the app's design and performance standards.
