I am a co-founder and the architect of the product.

For what projects/services did your company hire Tinloof, and what were your goals?

Seif, Omar, and their collaborators were entitled to build from zero a complex website, from the back-end architecture, the CMS and the front-end.

The project lasted 4 months, and consisted in developing a hub of information, aggregating multiple sources automatically, and displaying selected posts across different sections in the platform.

Given the high level of automatization, together with the customization via CMS, the job involved a complex architecture and many challenges.

How did you select Tinloof and what were the deciding factors?

The selection process as lasted two months and has reviewed more than 30 candidates. Tinloof excelled in:

• front-end skills
• motivation and commitment to the project
• project management skills

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

In particular, the following product features were required:

• automatic crawler of posts - blog editor
• strong CMS, allowing to:

1. to select post to have / not have on the platform
2. edit posts
3. create new posts
4. edit all the pages and content inclueded

• automatic ranker of posts
• powerful carousels to display posts
• effective front-end (fast, responsive, and SEO optimised) compromising of ~25 pages - much more...

Technologies used were Java, Javascript, CSS, mango, Python, etc.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

The developing team under Tinloof was made of four people:

• Front-end developer (Tinloof co-founder)
• Front-end developer (Tinloof co-founder)
• Back-end developer (Tinloof collaborator)
• UI/UX designer (Tinloof collaborator)

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The platform performs at cutting-edge levels in performance (1.3 seconds to load the heaviest page), SEO (lighthouse score of 98%), accessibility and responsiveness (mobile is particularly excellent).

After product validation, our users were amazed by the UI/UX design, something looking "professional, even better than dominant incumbents in the market".

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

As regards to communication, by using Trello, video calls, and instant messaging, they were transparent in showing their pipeline of work and demonstrated instant availability (a call away at any time!) to respond to every request. Last but not least, timelines were always respected and the development was accelerated thanks to Tinloof's "push to output" mindset.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Tinloof surprised in project management skills. Upon contract signature, they promised to be the partner to trust to manage different people involved (from other developers to designers).

They brought efficiency to the project development by being the "light-house" of the wider IT team. Thus, never lagging-behind, they pushed the project management to the next level.

Smoothest communication. They organize everything on Notion and clearly communicate progress, tasks and deadlines. I didn't have to worry about anything.
