The Challenge
College students often miss out on campus events and have difficulty finding communities that match their interests. Existing solutions were fragmented across bulletin boards, group chats, and social media. Aura needed to unify campus social life into a single, intuitive platform.
Our Solution
We designed and developed Aura as a cross-platform mobile app using React Native and TypeScript, backed by a Node.js API and PostgreSQL database. The app features a campus event feed, student organization directories, interest-based groups, direct messaging, and smart notifications. Firebase handles authentication and real-time updates.
The Results
- Built and launched the full platform in 14 weeks
- Unified event discovery, groups, and messaging in one app
- Designed an intuitive onboarding flow for new students
- Architected a scalable backend for multi-campus expansion
