What We Build
Platform Options
**Cross-Platform (React Native)** - Build once for iOS and Android. Students learn on whatever device they have. Recommended for educational apps prioritizing accessibility and reach. **Native iOS (Swift)** - Premium learning experience for iOS-focused education or when requiring advanced iOS features (Apple Pencil, iPad optimization). **Native Android (Kotlin)** - Optimized for Android tablets and phones, important for global education markets where Android dominates. **Our Recommendation:** React Native for education apps. Students use diverse devices - maximize reach with one codebase. Focus development on course content, engagement mechanics, and learning outcomes.
Tech Stack
**Frontend:** React Native with TypeScript for cross-platform learning UI **Backend:** Node.js with Express or Python with Django for course management and user progress **Database:** PostgreSQL for user data, courses, and progress tracking with analytics **Video Streaming:** Cloudflare Stream, Vimeo, or AWS MediaConvert for adaptive video delivery **Offline Content:** Local storage for downloaded courses and progress sync when online **Assessments:** Custom quiz engine with question banks, randomization, and instant feedback **Gamification:** Points, badges, streaks, leaderboards, and achievement systems **LMS Integration:** Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or Schoology API integration for institutional courses **Analytics:** Mixpanel or Amplitude for course completion rates, engagement, and learning outcomes
Why Build Custom
**No-Code Limitations:** Education platforms like Teachable or Thinkific offer web-first experiences wrapped in webviews - slow, poor offline support, and limited engagement mechanics that drive completion. **Performance Requirements:** Smooth video playback, offline course access, and responsive quiz interactions require native performance that template platforms can't match. **Unique Pedagogy:** Build learning features specific to your teaching methodology - adaptive difficulty, custom assessment types, unique progress visualization, or specialized content formats. **Full Ownership:** Own your educational content and student relationships. No revenue sharing on course sales. Control pricing, certificates, and features without platform constraints.
