API Development
Early in API development, the team works closely with product management to outline and define the underlying data models that will form the core API. In partnership with the you, important technology and platform decisions are made early. As the data and API definitions take hold, the team lays the groundwork for building. We then proceed to build. Eventually, API 1.0 goes to production. The benchmark for this release is that a fully-functional API can power the platform. Soon after, work begins on a new version of the API carrying new features and any necessary tweaks.
Mobile App Development
Retailfridaybuilds mobile apps using both native app technologies and web-first technologies. We’re masters of Objective-C and Swift on iOS, and we’ve built large, scalable Android apps as well. In addition, we’ve built multiple large platforms using React Native for iOS and Android, and know that platform well enough to know where it excels and what the risks are, too. We’re long experienced in building web applications that are fast and responsive and make use of the native web platform in order to create world-class experiences using open web technologies, including rich media and video playback. And finally, we’re skilled at Progressive Web Application (PWA) development, using it to ship globally available apps into environments with limited resources, across form factors.
Web Development
The practice of modern web development requires a deep understanding of a complex stack of technologies. At Retailfriday , that stack includes JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and a wide range of secondary and supporting technologies that enable great web development—React, Node.js, LESS, SASS, TypeScript, as well as a bevy of back-end platforms. We steadily evaluate new web technologies before bringing them into our approved stack, and we take pride in excelling at the craft of building extremely fast, write-heavy web platforms.
React Development
We’re world-class React experts, and fully committed to the React ecosystem. We contribute to the React community and have built large, complex software using React, Redux, React Hooks, and similar component-based virtual DOM-powered technologies. React is complex when you’re writing large, component-based application platforms, and we’re expert and managing and controlling that complexity. We’ve also built global apps that reach millions of people using React Native, on both iOS and Android.
