Context
HelPets is an animal rescue app available on the App Store and Google Play. It works in Arabic, French and English. The Arabic interface is fully adapted to reading from right to left.
HelPets is our own product. We launched it and continue to run it ourselves.
What we developed
- Design
- User experience and interface design in Figma, in Arabic, French and English. The Arabic interface is adapted to reading from right to left.
- Mobile app
- React Native and Expo, with one shared set of code for iOS and Android. The app includes notifications, location features and features that update immediately. It also supports remote updates without a new app-store release.
- Server and data
- Node.js, Express and MySQL. User sign-in uses JWT. We developed features that update immediately and a documented API connecting the app to its server, with additional security measures.
- Admin area
- An admin area developed with React and TypeScript, including dashboards. We also developed the helpets.ma website with Next.js.
- Automated checks and releases
- The source code is managed on GitLab. Code changes are reviewed before they are added. An automated process checks the code for common errors and style issues, runs tests, checks the libraries and packages used for security issues, and publishes updates to the app’s API. We use EAS to prepare app versions and publish them on the App Store and Google Play. We also analyse code quality.
