Mashed Brain is a book-summarizing subscription service located in Dhaka, Bangladesh, offering users access to unlimited audio and text summaries of books. The goal of this project was to transform a Figma design into a fully functional mobile app for both iOS and Android, built using React Native. The app's core features included reading books, saving them, receiving books via email, receiving notifications for new book additions, listening to book audios, and downloading content. Despite its complex UI, the app aimed to provide an aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly experience.

Key Features:

Pixel-Perfect UI: The Figma design was meticulously translated into a pixel-perfect user interface using React Native, ensuring a visually appealing and consistent design across both iOS and Android platforms.

Backend Integration: The app seamlessly connected to the backend, enabling users to access a vast library of book summaries and interact with various features.

Reading and Saving Books: Users could read books directly within the app, and they had the option to save their favorite books for offline access.

Email Delivery: The app allowed users to have book summaries emailed to them, offering convenience for future reference.

Notification System: A notification system was implemented to inform users about newly added book summaries, ensuring they stayed up-to-date with the latest content.

Audio Book Functionality: One of the app's standout features was the ability to listen to book summaries in audio format, providing an alternative for users who preferred auditory learning. Managing this feature may have presented challenges, but it added significant value to the app.

Offline Downloads: Users could download book summaries for offline consumption, enhancing the app's accessibility.

Challenges:

Managing the audio book feature likely presented complexities, including audio file management, playback controls, and ensuring a smooth user experience during audio playback.

Outcome:

The Mashed Brain app successfully brought the concept of book summarization to life, offering users a comprehensive platform for accessing book summaries conveniently. The app's elegant yet functional UI, seamless backend integration, and unique audio book feature contributed to its overall success, providing users with a valuable tool for gaining knowledge from non-fiction books without reading them cover-to-cover. This project showcases my expertise in React Native app development and the ability to handle complex UI/UX challenges.
