Trendbook - One Platform, Six Codebases
I am proud to be both co-founder and the solo developer of the tech platform Trendbook, a project that put my skills to the ultimate test.
What is Trendbook?
Trendbook is a platform that allows influencers and creators to share where their apparel is from, enabling them to earn a commission on every sale they generate. The platform is available on both our mobile app and web app.
What Does It Take to Build?
While it might sound like a simple platform, I can guarantee you it is not. To make Trendbook work, I had to build an entire ecosystem of applications. This includes:
- The Mobile App
- The Web App
- A Shopify App for integrating with webshop catalogs and automatically installing a pixel
- A Conversion Tracking Technology for tracking sales generated by the influencers
- A Merchant Catalog Mapping and Synchronization Server
- Our Own AI Technology for visual search in the app
Overall, the platform consists of six codebases, three backend servers, and three front-end applications. All of which was built in six months by me as a single developer. You might then ask, is it perfect? - No, but it works damn good for a project that took six months if you ask me.
