Petmate - Pitangent

Story of the
Project

Petmate, a social media platform exclusively designed for pet owners and animal lovers, was developed by PiTangent to create a vibrant online community centered around the shared love for pets. The goal was to provide a platform for users to connect with like-minded individuals, share their pet-related experiences, and build a community of pet enthusiasts.

Obstacles/
Problems

User Engagement: One of the primary challenges was how to engage users on the platform and keep them coming back. To achieve this, PiTangent needed to offer features that were unique and appealing to pet lovers.

Security and Privacy: Handling user data and ensuring their privacy and security was a significant concern. With the need for user profiles and shared locations, robust security measures were crucial.

Location-Based Features: Implementing features like "Pet walkies with shared location via maps" required a reliable and real-time location-sharing system.

Unique Features 1
To enhance user engagement, PiTangent introduced various features like profile creation, a user-friendly feed for sharing pet-related posts, and the ability to connect with other users through friend requests and acceptance. These features made Petmate stand out in the crowded social media space.

Privacy and Security 2
PiTangent ensured data security and privacy through Firebase's authentication and security rules. User data was stored securely in MySQL databases, with strong encryption and access controls in place.

Location-Sharing 3
For the "Pet walkies with shared location via maps" feature, PiTangent used Flutter's capabilities to integrate real-time location sharing using Firebase's real-time database. This allowed users to see the location of their friends' pets during walks, ensuring a safe and engaging experience.
