About Culapp

Culapp is a US social media startup for intra-college networking, working across IT, social media and education.

The challenge

Culapp wanted a social network for college communities that works well both on the web and as an installable, app-like experience on phones.

Social platforms live or die by how smooth and native they feel, especially for a mobile-first student audience. Culapp needed a Progressive Web App so students get an app-like experience without a separate native install.

What Assystant did

We built the front end of Culapp’s platform on Django and React, structured to run as a Progressive Web App.

  • The front end for the intra-college social platform
  • A structure that works as a PWA
  • A Django and React application
  • A smooth, mobile-friendly experience

As a PWA, the platform gives students an app-like social experience without the friction of an app store install.

Technology
  • React
  • Django
  • Progressive web app
