Current market landscape its fill with established companies and small open-source scripts that offer different approaches the problem we are trying to solve.
š How was it built?
We are currently using tailwind to build the user interface layer and react for the backend. The magic happen when we connect front end and back end thanks to Storybook and Chromatic, tools that allow to automagically reference any front-end atomic design element to a piece of script.
Currently working on...
At the moment, we are simultaneously building the back end and the front-end. Basically everything... starting from research, so we are completing the competitors' analysis to allow us having a broader overview of the current solutions and gather insights to inform the next design phase and prioritize an easy-to-use interface with minimalistic design and ideal user experience.
We'll be also pitching at next Hackathon Pitch Sessions this coming Fri 24th at 7PM UTC
