Star Trader
StarTrader is a prototype mobile application that empowers users to trade sports persons like stocks. The platform integrates real-time data, allowing users to purchase and sell stocks of athletes, earn StarCoins, and participate in a dynamic marketplace. Additionally, users can create both personal and shared accounts, encouraging collaborative trading.
Project Objectives
The core objectives of the StarTrader project were to develop a mobile application prototype that offers a visually engaging and intuitive platform for users to easily navigate and perform trading actions, such as buying, selling, and managing StarCoins. The platform aimed to provide a real-time trading experience by delivering live stock updates, news feeds, and research tools to support informed decision-making. It was designed to support multiple account types, allowing users to manage both personal and shared accounts for joint trading ventures. Additionally, user engagement was a key focus, with features like a news feed and in-depth stock research tools integrated to enhance the overall experience.
Problem Statement & Challenges
- Real-time Data Management: Integrating a system capable of handling real-time updates and notifications for stock prices and athlete performance.
- User Account Versatility: Developing a robust account management system that supports both personal and shared accounts without compromising security and user data privacy.
- Cross-platform Functionality: Ensuring consistent performance across iOS and Android devices using a single codebase, while optimizing user experience.
- Market Novelty: As the idea of trading sports persons is unconventional, the challenge was to create a balance between financial trading systems and the sports enthusiasm of users.
Project Approach / Solution
Our project approach combines user-friendly UI/UX design, cross-platform development with React Native, secure local database integration, real-time updates, and a flexible account management system to create a seamless and engaging trading experience for users.
UI/UX Design
We began with designing wireframes and prototypes for the StarTrader application. The design process focused on simplicity and ease of use. A sports-themed aesthetic was introduced, with intuitive navigation and a dashboard for easy monitoring of trades and StarCoins.
Cross-Platform Mobile App with React Native
Leveraging React Native, we ensured a cost-effective development process while achieving cross-platform compatibility. This decision not only reduced the development timeline but also guaranteed consistent app performance across both Android and iOS.
Local Database Setup
A local database was integrated to store trading data, user profiles, and StarCoin balances. We ensured data security and privacy while maintaining the scalability of the system for future upgrades.
Real-time Updates and Stock Research
We built a stock research feature that aggregates performance data of athletes and relevant market news, providing real-time insights for users. Additionally, we implemented a live news feed and notification system to keep users informed of relevant updates.
Account Management System
We engineered a flexible account management system where users could create and manage both personal and shared accounts, enabling collaborative trading. Robust security protocols ensured that all account types were safe from unauthorized access.
