The challenge

What Community App needed to solve.

Communities and venues had updates, events, and member conversations spread across emails, paper notices, and group texts, so people missed what mattered and had no quick way to raise an issue. The team wanted one app where members could read bulletins, sign in securely with a QR code, discuss local matters, and chat in real time, always available across iOS and Android.

Goals

Bring events, bulletins, and chat into one app
Make secure sign in a single QR scan
Give members a clear channel to raise issues
Deliver real time chat with no friction
Keep the experience consistent across iOS and Android

The solution

Resourcifi designed and built Community App as native iOS and Android apps with a Firebase chat backend. The home screen opens on a navy header with an all actions grid that routes members to bulletins, events, chat, and reference, while QR code sign in handles secure access and a real time module powers conversations and issue discussion 24/7.

What we built

The Community App build, screen by screen.

01 · Home and all actions

Every action one tap from the home

The home screen opens on a navy header with the gold C wordmark and a welcome, then an all actions grid routes members straight to bulletins, events, chat, and reference.

02 · QR sign in and access

Secure access in a single scan
