A web app for mapping visited countries and ones to visit

Ari and Max built 40k because it’s something they’ve always wanted for themselves – a way to memorize where they’ve already been to and share where they want to go in the future.

About

The main goal of 40K was to allow people to mark their trips on a map and see what places they have already visited.

Ari and Max thought that it’s interesting to think about circling the globe and seeing it come to life on a map.

Founder, 40k Travel

TeaCode was able to scope the project, stay within a committed budget and work through some natural development changes. The MVP functions well and is allowing us to gain traction with users and investors. They were a partner in development, completely organized, good communication, and transparent with pricing. We have worked with many engineering teams and will always go back to Teacode first.

Needs and requirements

40k was planned as an MVP. They needed to gather feedback and test whether there was a demand on the market for such a solution.

Currently, the app allows users to track which places they’ve visited, which are their favourites and where they would like to go in the future.

Users can build an app without registering, but it’s required if they want to save or share their maps through email and social media (Facebook & Instagram).

The app was to be simple and functional in order to fulfil the initial goal.

Cooperation & Results

Our clients provided us with the main requirements for the app and designs. Our goal was to advise them according to the development possibilities, define the scope of work, build and test the app, as well as launch it to the market.

The main challenge was connected with Instagram API. It performs well when it comes to sharing on mobile devices, but this functionality is unavailable on desktop.

Overall, we delivered the app within 2 months.
