Challenge and Solution

Challenge:

The customer asked us to create the design, backend, and frontend of an online platform for creators.

Solution:

Our team selected an appropriate JavaScript-based tech stack, defined the core visuals and functions of the Oplanto website, and developed a robust system for hosting and visualizing 3D printing and other instructions.

Result:

Oplanto became a collaborative online platform that helps with exchanging blueprints for various tools and decorations. It acts as a public repository of “how it is made” knowledge, empowering creators to launch new projects by leveraging the expertise of their colleagues.

Solution 1: Robust JavaScript Basis

We focused on creating a clear backbone for the project that would enable the customer to maintain and scale it in the long term without any need for refactoring. Keenethics developers chose JavaScript-based technologies for this goal, focusing on Node.js, React, and Vue.js, because they’re capable of processing many user requests, which are inevitable in marketplace projects.

Solution 2: Lightweight Site with Advanced 3D Features

We optimized the internal multidimensional visualization tools and site frontend and backend to enable the customers to use 3D printing tools from the comfort of their web browsers. To achieve this, our team used accumulated UI/UX knowledge and applied lightweight browser technologies like React, creating a fast and comfortable solution despite the inherent high resource demands of 3D technologies. Another core feature introduced by the Keenethics team was a high-quality anti-piracy system with strong encryption measures. It helps users protect their intellectual property from data leaks.

Сustomer Feedback

The greatest thing about Keenethics is that this company is all about ideas. They do not strive for money only. These people aim to make a difference in the software world. They promote ethical values and show others how to meet Tech4Good demands. They were so excited by how new technologies can be used for the common good that they even asked me for an interview that was published on their blog. It has been a pleasure to work with them.
