Some details
Anchr- Social Networking Website
ANCHR is a website which enables users to post questions or visuals and get real-time votes and comments about questions that matter to them.
How it works?
Anchr is a website where you get to post questions and get answers. It looks like pinterest a bit and you get to input when people are having a hard time choosing. You can post a
question with images or other interesting visuals, share with specific people or make public, and watch votes and comments come in. The person asking had brought it down to 4 items and then like a poll it had choices. As the other users vote it may help the author to make a choice.Challenges and Solutions
The most challenging aspect of this project were the constantly changing requirements. The reason for this was evident as anchr.co was a startup. Client changed the direction of the platform so many times after release and that called for more flexibility in the way we operated. Lastly, the frontend proved very challenging because of the complexity of design. The solution for these conditions appeared in using Backbone.js. It reduced number of efforts required and added necessary flexibility.
