A Prime Example of Code At Work
Tap Picks is a piece of development work that we’re proud to show off. Why? Designli handled the following aspects of the creation of this app:
Redesign and Front-End Implementation
We designed a fresh look and feel to the existing MVP the client brought to our table, and implemented this design into the existing code-base.
Elegant Python Scripting
Python scripts were set to execute to update user voting statistics at set intervals throughout the day to keep the app fresh and up-to-date, and to send users their weekly statistics summary via email.
Regular API Requests
Using SportsRadar for real-time score updates is a constant juggle between having an up-to-date app and using the desired number of API calls (while, of course, not exceeding call quotas). We set up server-side Cron Jobs so as to call all third-party API’s at regular intervals.
Logo and Branding
THE RESULT
What resulted is a popular sports game-picking app that has been well-received in the sports fan community. The app continues to be improved over time and is worth a look if you’re interested in winning weekly cash prizes for participating in the voting and discussions you love!
