Myata
Best news collector from Vkontakte
The backstory
| The amount of time people spend on social media is constantly increasing. Teens spend up to nine hours a day on social platforms, while 30% of all time spent online is now allocated to social media interaction. And the majority of that time is on mobile - 60% of social media time spent is facilitated by a mobile device. | Our client, Dmytrii Udin, bought an app – called Myata. It is a system, that collects most popular posts from the Vkontakte social network and delivers it to final users in different groups of interests, like "cars", "technologies" etc. Unfortunately, the application has had lots of issues in functionalities and UI/UX at that stage. |
| Dmitrii came to Octodev and asked to evaluate the application code quality, its design and the overall user experience. After the evaluation a decision was made to redo it from scratch with some new features. | |

Myata app
With Myata users don’t need to create accounts in social network anymore to just view posts. You can search, filter and save favorite posts. All posts are sorted by groups of interests.
When we were developing the Myata app, we wanted to create an atmosphere that would imitate a social network, but with top rated posts only and 100% ads free.
