The project commenced with comprehensive discussions to capture Josh’s vision and requirements for Sitter-Sanity. Detailed user stories and use cases were documented to outline the app’s core functionalities, focusing on automating payment calculations and integrating with popular payment gateways.

User experience (UX) design prioritized simplicity and clarity, ensuring that users could easily input babysitting details and navigate through payment processes. Visual design elements were crafted to enhance usability and convey trustworthiness, crucial for encouraging adoption among users.

Sitter-Sanity was developed natively for iOS using Swift programming language. Backend integration with Paypal and Venmo APIs facilitated seamless payment transactions, while custom algorithms were implemented to calculate fees accurately based on input parameters. Continuous integration and version control practices ensured code stability and collaboration among development teams.

Rigorous testing protocols encompassed functional testing to validate payment calculations and transaction flows, as well as usability testing to gauge user interactions with the app interface. Compatibility testing across different iOS devices and operating system versions ensured a consistent user experience.

The app was strategically launched on the Apple App Store following thorough beta testing and user feedback incorporation. Marketing efforts focused on reaching parents seeking streamlined babysitting payment solutions. Post-launch, ongoing monitoring and updates were conducted to address any issues and enhance app performance based on user insights.
