Mobile & Social / Location App

JiXLer - Location-Based Social App (iOS Swift + React Native Android)

JiXler is a location-based social app where users create 'JiXes' (geofenced content pinned to a place with a radius), discover nearby JiXes on an interactive map and dashboard, comment, share with friends/groups/contacts, record voice memos, and manage business 'Entity' accounts with roles and groups. Native iOS client is built in Swift/UIKit with a companion React Native (TypeScript) Android client and a central REST API at jixler.dogratech.com.

01 Overview

JiXler is a location-based social app where users create 'JiXes' (geofenced content pinned to a place with a radius), discover nearby JiXes on an interactive map and dashboard, comment, share with friends/groups/contacts, record voice memos, and manage business 'Entity' accounts with roles and groups. Native iOS client is built in Swift/UIKit with a companion React Native (TypeScript) Android client and a central REST API at jixler.dogratech.com.

Scope of delivery

Built the JiXler location-based social application. Developed the native iOS (Swift/UIKit) client with an interactive map, JiX creation (geofenced pins, photos, links, scheduling), nearby-JiX discovery, comments/friends/share flows, POI and activity journal, plus business Entity accounts with roles and group management - and specified a React Native (TypeScript) Android client for functional parity with the iOS app.

02 Business Challenge

Build a location-aware social platform where users can pin geofenced content ('JiXes') to places, discover nearby content on a live map, and interact through comments, friends, shares and business accounts - across both iOS and Android.

03 Our Solution

Built the JiXler location-based social application. Developed the native iOS (Swift/UIKit) client with map + JiX creation, nearby discovery, comments/friends/shares, POI & activity journal, audio memos and Entity accounts - and specified a React Native (TypeScript) Android client for functional parity with iOS.

Engineering approach

Engineered the iOS app with Alamofire REST calls to the jixler.dogratech.com backend, Firebase Auth/Google/Facebook sign-in, MapKit with Google Places for location capture, SDWebImage media loading and AVFoundation audio recording. Auth uses an auth_code header with current_time_zone/user_id conventions, with a 5-tab shell (All JiXes, Activity, Home, Map, Profile) and feature-parity spec for Android.
