Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm a programmer myself and hired Anton to serve as a subcontractor.
For what projects/services did your company hire 2muchcoffee?
Build two Ionic applications.
What were your goals for this project?
Build two Ionic applications.
How did you select this vendor?
My process for finding contractors is thorough, to say the least. I go through 100+ profiles on upwork to interview 5-6 people. Of those 5-6 people, I put them through a programming challenge and code review. This process led to two qualified individuals. I couldn't be happier with my choice to work with Anton.
Describe the project in detail.
We built 2 Ionic mobile apps which are connected to a backend API. One of the mobile apps is a white-labeled application, so quite quickly we will have over 200 apps of this nature on the android and apple app stores. The functionality for these applications was all advanced.
What was the team composition?
I worked directly with Anton and oversaw project management. He had some direction from his team at 2muchcoffee
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Anton has everything you look for in a programmer. His code quality was excellent, great attention to detail, he used our project management tool in detail, communicated properly (not too much or too little) the entire project, showed up to work every day, no drama or extra headaches, and ultimately delivered great value to our end client.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Anton was great to work with.
What did you find most impressive about this company?

Web Development Services for SaaS-Based App
"We didn’t feel like a client, but rather as partners who have the same goal to achieve."
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I’m the co-founder and CTO at Station, which is a SaaS focused platform for working with web apps. The app helps busy people to save tons of time handling both personal and work applications.
Since people spend a lot of their working hours using SaaS apps on their web browser, the Station aims to ease the whole process of using apps while working. We provide the opportunity to have one app to centralize all of your work. Therefore, Station supports 600+ apps including G Suite, Slack, Asana, Trello, etc.
For what projects/services did your company hire 2muchcoffee?
As our product has rapidly evolved into a much bigger version, we had to improve both sides: the back-end and front-end.
Moreover, we made the effort to split the codebase into different parts. Some parts required a lot of business-specific knowledge (for instance electron, custom framework, etc.) while the other required only standard knowledge (React web application, GraphQL, Node.js, PostgreSQL., etc.).
We decided to hire 2muchcoffee to work on the second part and implement the best tech solutions while we could focus on exploiting business-specific knowledge for our app store.
What were your goals for this project?
Our main goal was to make the app store more user-friendly and feature-rich by means of using modern architectural decisions.
How did you select this vendor?
We were looking for a team with solid technical expertise who would be able to “fit into our workflow”. Precisely, it was important to find a team experienced with a "modern" stack (especially our stack: Typescript, GQL, React, JSS) and be open to collaborate with Station’s product and dev teams.
Additionally, we were looking for a team with the pro-active communication approach which is transparent and up to date on accomplishment and left to do tasks.
We did comprehensive research to find the right company to cooperate with. When we discovered the 2muchcoffee portfolio and read the reviews, we were impressed by the scope and professionalism of their work. After the preliminary discussion with the team, it was a no-brainer that this team could carry out our main objectives. So, we decided to go with the 2muchcoffee company.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
As Station is the browser for work it was crucial to reach a native desktop experience- something that could be achieved due to high-quality codebase. 2muchcoffee significantly improved our code.
First of all, the team made a code review to detect possible issues in the codebase which could negatively affect the work of the app. Back end tasks include caching GraphQL queries and changing the database structure (from services to applications).
Additionally, the data was migrated to Airtable to make the process of an organization much easier. Moreover, the team entirely refactored the existing front-end architecture.
There was decided to switch to GraphQL cache instead of Redux as a main application’s Store. Such a decision provides huge benefits for the user-experience. There was implemented a full redesign by means of creating completely new layouts for the app.
Additionally, the team extended the app functionality and added new ones, e.g. edit/delete of custom apps, infinite scroll, correct applications’ search functionality. Finally, Google Lighthouse metrics were improved to achieve better technical optimization.
What was the team composition?
The first contact we had was with the 2muchcoffee CEO with whom we negotiated the scope of the work. Later, 2muchcoffee devs worked on our back-end, while the front-end team closely cooperated with our Product Designer.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
We received positive feedback from our users which is a predominant indicator of the work that was done. Our goals were achieved: the app store became more feature-rich and user-friendly. The well-written code guarantees that it would be possible to scale the app in the future. Additionally, due to the revamp that the team did on this app, the conversion rates on our app store were significantly increased.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
The whole project was managed very effectively using the Agile approach. The communication was mainly through Slack which was perfectly fitting into our workflow. In case, it was necessary to have an online discussion we used Skype calls.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
2muchcoffee approached our tasks seriously. Specifically, we took some time to make a detailed product specification document which was carefully reviewed by the 2muchcoffee team and was even more improved throughout our cooperation.
In addition, the team was very open to sharing their knowledge. They always guided us through the core matters and explained areas that were unfamiliar to us. The team showed a willingness to understand and support our business objectives, and therefore, this translated into the quality of work they produced.
This is a responsive team with quick communication practice and following the “to the point” approach. We didn’t feel like a client, but rather as partners who have the same goal to achieve.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Considering the nature of the services we got from 2muchcoffee, I can state that there is nothing to improve. The team follows modern tech solutions and individual approach to the clients. That is why this is a great team to partner with.
