Goly
Cross-Platform App for Goal Management
2024

Information
Introduction
The importance of setting clear goals is fundamental for personal and professional success. However, studies show that only 6% of people who set goals actually manage to achieve them. From this need, Goly was born, an app created to facilitate the management of personal and collective goals, while also offering a social platform that allows users to connect, share advice, and support each other's progress. The main challenge was to develop an application that not only organized users' goals but also promoted social interaction and mutual support among users.
Challenge
The main challenge in developing Goly was to create an intuitive app that could combine effective goal management with a social aspect. It was essential that the app be easy to use while still maintaining a strong focus on user experience. The key objectives were:
Goal Management: Allow users to organize their goals into categories, set priorities, deadlines, and rewards.
Community Building: Facilitate the sharing of progress and achievements with other community members, creating a supportive environment.
Analysis and Statistics: Provide users with detailed data on their progress and results, improving awareness of advancement towards their goals.
Cross-platform Compatibility: Ensure a seamless experience on iOS and Android mobile devices using Flutter and Firebase to maximize performance and reduce development time.
Solution
We developed Goly as a cross-platform application using Flutter and Firebase, ensuring fast development and good performance on both major operating systems. The key features of the app include:
Goal Management: Users can create personalized goals, organize them into categories, assign priorities and deadlines, and receive progress notifications. It is also possible to set rewards as incentives for achieving goals.
Social Features: Goly offers the ability to share one's progress with the community, receive feedback and support, and create a network of users with similar interests. This social aspect encourages collaboration and mutual motivation.
Statistics and Tracking: Users can view graphs and statistical data related to their progress, monitoring the effectiveness of their efforts and making adjustments to their action plans.
Responsive and Customizable Design: The user interface has been designed to be user-friendly, with particular attention to the mobile experience. The ability to customize notifications and the interface makes the app flexible and suitable for various types of users.
MVP and Scalability: The choice to implement a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) allowed for a rapid market entry to test and validate the idea. With Firebase as a database, the app is able to handle user requests quickly and efficiently, even with some limitations in terms of long-term scalability.
Goly represents a modern approach to goal management, combining practical functionalities and social aspects to create a platform that actively supports users in their journey of personal and professional growth.
