What we did
When Matthew Reid, the visionary founder of SimplyPut, approached us with the noble aspiration to make South African laws more accessible to the masses, we were immediately on board. To bring this vision to life, we opted for Flutter as our development framework, owing to its powerful capability to deliver a seamless and consistent user experience across various platforms. Coupled with Firebase for its real-time database and authentication services, we ensured a scalable, secure, and efficient backend. Throughout the project, our collaboration with Matthew was characterized by mutual respect and a shared goal: to make complex legal jargons easily understandable. The final product is not just an app; it's a testament to what can be achieved when technology meets a genuine need for societal empowerment.
