The challenge

Finding compatible players and a safe, inclusive table is hard. Founder Rachel Dove had already been through three other development companies that overcharged her and left broken code.

What we built

We fixed the code and built a matchmaking platform with profiles, discovery, chat across web and mobile, and an admin panel.

The result

An MVP launch, followed by a polished Version 2 with a new design and new features.

Watch Rachel's video review

I went through not one, not two, but three other development companies that overcharged me, gave me broken code, and a whole lot of disappointment. Then I was introduced to Taimoor and his amazing team at Niftonic. Within days, I saw the value they brought. They were beyond helpful, more than a partner, really a trusted friend, with very high quality at a low cost. And just that peace of mind, knowing my project was finally in the right hands.
