Challenges

Realtime Form and Dynamic Data Handling
• From registering yourself for the application to creating your first ever bounty, the form which you use is absolutely realtime and dynamic.
• This challenge becomes more exciting when it is coupled with lots of real time logical conditions for different business logic scenarios.
• Handling dynamic form states across multiple user flows required careful synchronization of data and UI components.
Notification
• Need to map the different data from two different bounty challenges which are accepted by multiple users.
• Pass data to mobile apps through the same API to display as the single list.
• Combining multiple data sources into a unified notification feed required careful API design.
