HeyaLink: A Mobile App for Construction Professionals

HeyaLink is an existing professional social platform built specifically for the construction industry. After establishing a successful web presence, the need for a mobile app became evident to enhance user engagement and align with the project roadmap

As the assigned developer for the HeyaLink mobile app, I opted for Flutter as the development framework. My experience indicated its strong compatibility with the project's existing REST APIs built on the PHP & Laravel infrastructure.

The development process spanned several months, navigating occasional slowdowns. However, we persevered and delivered a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with a user-friendly and functional interface, paving the way for further enhancements.

Frontend: Flutter (UI development)

Backend: Firebase (secondary backend) with custom PHP & Laravel infrastructure

Cloud Messaging: Enables push notifications for improved user engagement.

Crashlytics: Facilitates proactive bug identification and resolution.

Analytics: Provides valuable insights into user behavior for informed decision-making.

App Distribution with Test Lab: Streamlines automated testing and secure build sharing within the development team.

The HeyaLink mobile app is now live and actively used by construction professionals. We are continuously working on implementing new features to further enrich the user experience.
