The idea behind 1in4 is to create a supportive community and help people easily find fellows with mutual interests. With 1in4 users can search through other people’s stories about lifestyle, health, parenting, and many other things or share their own experience publicly or in a private fashion! For couples trying to conceive or expecting a baby, the app provides fun and helpful pregnancy, baby development, and fertility tracking tools with a bunch of tips and articles.

1in4 was a startup looking for a company that could design and build a mobile application for both iOS and Android platforms and minimize project time and cost. They also needed an administrative panel that would allow managing thousands of interests, tips, and articles, as well as monitoring the users’ submissions, activity, and community guidelines. Mercury accepted the challenge and suggested using a cross-platform framework called Flutter to create a beautiful app experience for both iOS and Android users.

1in4 was one of the first projects at Mercury with Flutter applied competently. This cross-platform framework allows providing fast development and full native performance on both iOS and Android platforms. The same codebase enables smooth performance and eliminates the need to create separate apps, which helps to minimize project cost and time.
