Battle Testing

This month we are heavily testing our Alpha APP to evaluate if that can scale and be easily improved and maintained.

Alpha App

This month we are releasing our Alpha version after a series of adjustments and bug fixes. The alpha app will be used to test our acceptance with a limited audience of users.

Timeline & Soundtracks

Our team is super excited to be able to start watching our videos in OMNI app feed. Our video player and APIs to empower the feeds are ready, so we hope it's all about glueing it together. Additionally we are implementing a new timeline design that you are all gonna love! Stay tuned!

OMNI users will experience a fluent timeline when browsing posts from profiles and the main feed.

Our next priority is adding the soundtracks to the productions, so users can create challenges or find the perfect song bites to their videos. Our UX team is working on an amazing look and feel for that.

OMNI has already acquired a license that enables us to load and use thousands of songs inside the app.

Happy Holidays!

Web3 Authentication
& Video Playback

This month we're implementing the Web3 Authentication support into the app. We are revolutionizing the way people join a social media app!

OMNI users will be driven through a super simple process to create a blockchain wallet straight from the first interaction with the app.

The user wallet will be its identity, and down the road will be used to check for NFTs, to distribute rewards and other cool stuff.

Among other things, we'll also work on post video upload and player.

Camera Effects, AR Filters
& Video Editing

In this month, our engineering team will be focused on our camera component. We have a lot to improve in the overall user experience and features to include.

We will be adding new amazing AR Effects, Filters and Make Up options.

Our backend team will also be super busy working on a DB migration to a new technology we found to be more suitable for most of our use-cases.

The blockchain team is working to deploy our smart contract to Polygon and developing a bridge that will enable our investors to move OAI tokens back and forward from Binance Smart Chain.

Posts & Comments

Our team is heads down creating APIs, backend services and implementing the UX flows to support basic posting and comments.

In the end of this iteration we will be able to create and like posts and comments, and to list posts on a user profile.

Finally, we'll try to implement a temporary post feed so we can easily browse the existing posts on our database.

Profile & Followers

Our main objective this month is to finish the implementation of all services and UI of the user profile and following interactions.

We are building views for public and private profiles, profile photo and info management, and profile statistics.

Like other social media apps, users will also be able to follow other users, to send and review following requests, and to list followers and following users.

OMNI Token IDO

This is the big month we will launch OMNI Token to the market. We are thrilled to release our tokens on a DEX so people that believe in our project can invest in OMNI.

Our blockchain team is working hard to finalize our smart contract and have it all properly audited by the end of the month.

We cherish full transparency and respect for our investors. As such, our smart contract will distribute all of the tokens direct to the wallets of investors in the day of IDOs. The vesting schedules were fully implemented in the smart contract

Our team is also building a Token Portal so anyone can follow how tokens are distributed and released accordingly.

User Sign-Up
& Account Settings

This month our engineering team will be working on user sign-up and account settings.

We are evaluating a SSO product that would allow users to use OpenID connect to sign-up to OMNI and comparing with an in-house more flexible solution.

OMNI will let users fine-tune the accounts, with several privacy, content and notification options.

Basic Components Development

As we start building our mobile engineering team, we will be working on the foundations of both iOS and Android apps, and development of basic components for common scenarios such as alerting, buttons and dialogs.

App Architecture

We just hired our iOS and Android lead developers! They will be working on defining the best technologies and development strategies to be used on OMNI.

Team Building

Our engineering team is growing! Week after week, a new superstar developer is joining our team.

We are working on backend foundations, basic infrastructure setup, POCs and templates to guide new engineers the way of creating code for OMNI.

This is the time we are putting all of the technologies we have picked for the app to proof.

New Backend Architecture

We are working hard to define the software architecture of OMNI app.

OMNI is designed to be a mega-app used by millions, and as such we have the challenge to develop an architecture that can scale with our user base and be super-safe.

Back to Drawing Board

After evaluating our first alpha APP, we decided to start fresh. We found the existing alpha app won't scale to the point we plan for the near future, and it would be too costly to adapt it to the new functional and non-functional requirements of OMNI.

We are developing a new design, UX and rethinking all the features of the best social media experience ever seen!
