Challenge
Winemaps, is a travel app built with React Native and Mapbox that includes a centralized REST API, search functionality by word, location, tag, category, and region.
Mapbox for building web maps, offline mode for accessibility, geolocation for location-based features, and performant animations to improve the user experience.
The app was created from the ground up, including user flow, wireframes, design, and implementation, and it is available in both the Apple and Android app stores. The app is made up of parts that can be used on different screens. This makes it easy to keep up-to-date and maintain.
Solutions
Centralized REST API
Using an already built backend and consuming the REST API.
Search
By word, location, tag, category and Regions,
Use of Mapbox
Client-side JavaScript library for building web maps and web applications with modern mapping technology
Offline mode
Most mobile apps on the market require an offline mode to be useful. Companies that make apps about travel, the weather, games, or finances, for example, know how important it is to let users access certain data at any time and from anywhere.
Geolocation
These location-based apps use device location to enable and control some features. Location-based apps like Wok Delivery and Find My iPhone help us with everyday tasks just by knowing exactly where we are.
Performant Animations
The major task of any animation is to help the user figure out how to use the app by showing how interface elements are connected. Thanks to motion graphics, an app lets users know what is going on in response to their actions.
