Social Network App Development For Travelers: A Case Study
Traveling is a highly personal and rewarding undertaking. Indeed, traveling has become an integral part of life and has evolved with the help of cutting-edge technologies. For those with a curious mind, HDWEBSOFT can develop a feature-rich social network for travelers that allows its community members to share recipes, good books, travel tips, and many more aspects of life.
Social Network App Development For Travelers: A Case Study
Traveling opens up various possibilities and allows us to interact with new people, explore new cultures, try new food recipes, and many more. As an industry, it helps to find new markets and connects customers with their dream destinations. The era of social media has made the experience of traveling more comfortable, especially in finding accommodation, restaurants, and tourist attractions. This has led to a surge in the demand to build a social network for those with wanderlust. As a result, travel agencies and service providers have begun to concentrate on developing social network apps that connect travelers. As a leading tech solution provider, HDWEBSOFT has prepared a whole host of solutions to build world-leading social network app development for travelers.
Features
Social networks have been improving travelers’ experience by allowing them to share stories and motivating those who read the stories to embark on a similar or better journey. To create a social network platform that serves a large community of travelers and shares the traveling experience on a global scale, we need to provide a wide variety of app features as below:
- Join the network by referral code.
- Create and share collections and kernels with your friends.
- Share your profiles and public posts with anyone – those who do not have an account on the network can view the shared content on the web version.
- Connect to your contact list via phone number.
- Attach multiple media such as Spotify, YouTube, Movie, Location, Books, and many more, to your posts.
- Find posts of interest by category.
Technologies
To succeed in a versatile social network app development for travelers, we excel in utilizing the industry’s technologies. In addition, with more than a decade of experience building social platform projects, we make sure that any app we build can function beyond expectation and that all technical issues are minimized. Check out the technologies we have employed in our projects of social applications:
- React.js: is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It is declarative, efficient, and flexible. React is used by many large companies, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Netflix.
- React Native: is a framework for building native mobile apps using React.js. It allows you to use the same code base to build apps for iOS and Android. React Native is used by companies such as Airbnb, Walmart, and Tesla.
- Python: is a general-purpose programming language that is known for its simplicity and readability. Python is often used for web development, data science, and machine learning.
- Django: is a Python framework for web development. It is known for its speed, security, and scalability. Django is used by companies such as Spotify, Instagram, and Mozilla.
Challenges
In fact, even though we are experienced, we cannot always avoid challenges and have to leverage our social application developers’ enviable experience to create the most suitable solutions. This has allowed us to build our collection of the most viable solutions for myriads of technical situations.
- Full-text search: the app allows users to search any app content. For example, a user may want to search for kernels that contain a specific keyword or keywords. Additionally, Cloud Firestore does not support native indexing or search for text fields in documents. Moreover, downloading an entire collection to search for fields on the client side is not practical.
- The application needs an editor with complex features the library does not support.
Solutions
As we are always willing to go the extra mile for the success of any project, we employ various techniques to handle these challenges:
- For the full-text search, Cloud Firestore data doesn’t offer built-in full-text search functionality, but there are workarounds to achieve this, specifically the Algolia search service. These services specialize in indexing and searching text data efficiently. They offer features like fast and relevant search results, typo tolerance and stemming (matching similar words), and advanced search queries (filtering by multiple criteria).
- For the editor, some libraries allow the creation of custom plugins or extending existing functionalities. Therefore, we could extend the library and create more custom options. This involve writing some code but leverages the core library features.
Business Outcomes
Our mobile app development services help users around the world find travelers of similar interests or from nearby countries and check their activities. This allows all travelers to be informed of each other and share posts easily, which makes the traveling experience more connected and fun. Also, features and interactions on our traveling social network are eye-catching regarding interface, access, and feasibility.
- Users can search for more things with app content.
- An editor is incorporated into the app for more useful features to generate pretty posts.
- Users can easily see their photos and share their posts with more people.
