This unique approach not only enhances the user experience but also opens up new avenues for influencers and everyday users alike to monetize their online presence.
Key Features of Wavee:
JIITAK played a pivotal role in bringing the vision of Wavee to life. Our involvement encompassed every aspect of the app's development, from conceptualization to implementation. We were entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that Wavee not only met but exceeded the expectations of its target audience, offering a seamless and engaging user experience.
Contributions:
The journey of developing Wavee was marked by several technical challenges, each overcome through strategic planning, technological innovation, and a deep understanding of our client's needs.
Challenge 1: Creating a Responsive Recommendation Engine
The initial build of our recommendation engine was sluggish, compromising user engagement. Recognizing the need for speed and accuracy, we pivoted to Go for its prowess in handling complex algorithms efficiently. Deployed on AWS Fargate, the revamped engine dramatically improved in delivering swift and relevant product suggestions, mirroring the user's preferences and behaviors.
Challenge 2: High-Performance Backend Integration
Our backend was initially developed using Node.js. However, to enhance the app’s capability, we integrated NestJS. This elevated the backend infrastructure, allowing us to handle high traffic volumes and complex data operations without compromising on performance.
Challenge 3: Seamless Third-Party E-commerce Integration
A critical aspect of Wavee was the integration with third-party e-commerce platforms for affiliate marketing. The challenge was to establish a robust connection for real-time affiliate link updates. Our solution involved creating an efficient API system that fetched and updated affiliate links seamlessly, ensuring a steady and reliable e-commerce experience.
Challenge 4: Cross-Platform Consistency and Performance
Matching the performance and feel of native apps like Instagram and TikTok on a cross-platform application was one of our biggest challenges. By leveraging Flutter and a customized GetX framework, we ensured that Wavee delivered a consistent, high-quality user experience on both iOS and Android platforms.
At JIITAK, we employed the Hero's Journey Map as a foundational framework to enhance the user experience (UX) journey in Wavee. This innovative approach allowed us to map out and visualize the emotional and behavioral changes users experience throughout their interaction with the app.
