The Challenge

The Challenge in developing Alek was to create a seamless, high-performance platform that accurately translated Figma UI designs into pixel-perfect app interfaces across both iOS and Android. The app needed to deliver a fluid and intuitive user experience, ensuring that asking and answering questions felt effortless.

A key focus was implementing real-time notifications to keep users engaged, ensuring experts could respond promptly and maintain an active presence. Additionally, the app had to be lightning-fast and highly responsive, with smooth transitions, instant question loading, and an optimized backend to handle high traffic efficiently.

Balancing a clean and modern UI with robust business-oriented features—allowing experts to showcase their services while maintaining a natural Q&A flow—was critical in delivering a premium experience for both users and professionals.

What we did

To bring Alek to life, we implemented Firebase Authentication, ensuring a seamless and secure registration and login experience for both users and experts. The app was built in Swift, following a well-structured, fully documented, and rigorously tested approach to maintain high code quality and reliability.

For the backend, we developed a Node.js API to efficiently handle question submissions, expert responses, and overall platform interactions. Firebase Cloud Messaging was integrated to deliver real-time notifications, keeping users engaged and informed instantly.

The app was architected using MVVM-C (Model-View-ViewModel-Coordinator), ensuring clean separation of concerns, scalability, and maintainability. Dynamic content was fully driven by the API, allowing for a smooth and adaptive experience. Additionally, we implemented full-themed branding, ensuring the UI remained consistent, visually appealing, and in line with the app’s identity.

Working with Momnt on the development of Alek has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their team demonstrated exceptional expertise in translating our vision into a fully functional, beautifully designed, and highly responsive app. They delivered on time and within budget, ensuring every detail—from pixel-perfect UI implementation to real-time notifications and a robust backend—was executed flawlessly. Their commitment to quality, structured approach, and clear communication made the entire process seamless. We couldn’t be happier with the result and look forward to continuing our partnership as Alek grows.
