Project Overview
Corenter is a mobile-first rental platform that connects apartment owners and renters in a Tinder-like swiping interface. The goal was to simplify apartment hunting while giving property owners an easy way to list and manage their properties.
Challenges & Problems Solved
- ✅ Matching Algorithm:
- 🔹 Developed a real-time property matching system, allowing users to swipe and connect instantly.
- ✅ Multi-Platform Native Development:
- 🔹 Since smooth UI and interactions were critical, we built separate SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose implementations instead of a cross-platform framework.
- ✅ Secure Communication & Payments:
- 🔹 Implemented in-app messaging and escrow payments for secure transactions.
- ✅ Listing & Booking Flow:
- 🔹 Designed a step-by-step property listing process, making it easy for non-technical landlords to onboard.
Technical Implementation
- 🔹 Real-time database sync for instant property updates
- 🔹 Push notifications & in-app chat for landlord-tenant communication
- 🔹 Secure payment gateway integration (Stripe, PayPal)
- 🔹 Image compression & optimization for high-quality property photos
Communication & Project Management
- 🔹 Agile development with Jira tracking
- 🔹 Client feedback sessions every sprint
- 🔹 Detailed Confluence documentation
QA & Testing
- 🔹 Manual testing for swiping interactions & gesture accuracy
- 🔹 Automated UI tests for booking flow stability
- 🔹 Load testing to handle high concurrent users
Outcome & Results
- 🚀 Simplified rental process with a 90% faster booking experience
- 🚀 Reduced no-shows by enabling direct messaging within the app
- 🚀 Higher engagement rates due to an intuitive UI
