OutfitPic App

OutfitPic is an interactive smartphone app where users upload their outfits and ask their friends, as well as other users in the app to share their opinions by voting for the coolest outfit in polls created by them. The voting system is as simple as one click on your favorite option. The goal is to receive enough feedback to determine whether users should wear their chosen outfits.

This project was developed in JavaScript, and React Native as frontend framework. The app is connected to a cloud-hosted NoSQL database as backend (Firebase). The need of real time querying was a key to choose a non-relational database for the app. Firebase Storage is backed by Google Cloud Storage, which plays an important role in terms of scalability. Non-relational db tends to be faster for data sync.
