The Client

A Digital Campfire for the Outdoor Community

Pastimes approached Plangora with a powerful vision: to make outdoor recreation more accessible and communal. As a startup, they needed a technical partner who could not only build their product from an early stage but also guide them through development with the speed and agility essential for a new venture.

The Challenge

Building a Community Platform Founded on Trust

The core challenge was translating a community-centric idea into a secure and scalable digital product. We needed to empower users to connect with new people for outdoor activities while prioritizing their safety and comfort. The platform required a sophisticated backend to manage detailed user profiles, privacy settings (like gender-specific visibility), and event creation, all while keeping the infrastructure lean and development rapid.

What We Did

From Database Design to Backend APIs

We began with a deep-dive consultancy phase, designing the database schema and application architecture from the ground up. Our team then developed the core backend APIs that power the entire Pastimes experience, enabling crucial features like user matching, event management, and critical privacy controls. By structuring the application logically, we provided a solid foundation for future growth and feature development.

Results & Impact

A Thriving, Inclusive Platform Ready for Growth

Plangora delivered a robust and scalable backend that brought the Pastimes vision to life. The platform now successfully enables users to consciously control their privacy and build trust before meeting in person. Our agile approach met the client's startup needs, providing a fast turnaround that allowed them to launch, gather feedback, and begin growing their community of over 80 different outdoor activities.

Stats

  • 2 Platforms (Mobile & Web)

"Turnaround time was very fast and all our concerns as a start-up were met swiftly. We want to introduce Plangora to all startups around the world as a dedicated team.”
