OVERVIEW

Project Overview

Jeep ownership is more than just driving a vehicle—it’s a lifestyle rooted in community, adventure, and shared passion. However, Jeep enthusiasts often struggled to find a unified platform that brings together club management, event planning, and social engagement tailored specifically to their culture.

Our goal was to build a dedicated social platform that connects Jeep owners across North America, offering them tools to create and join clubs, discover and participate in events, and engage with fellow enthusiasts through Jeep-themed features unique to this community.

The National Jeeplife Society (NJLS) platform combines an interactive and user-friendly design with specialized features like customizable Jeep profiles, digital “ducks” for social interaction, event mapping, and exclusive vendor access.

Project Challenges and Their Solutions

1. Balancing User Engagement with Content Moderation

Challenges

With open message boards, club interactions, and event postings, maintaining a positive and safe community environment was essential. However, moderating large volumes of content without hindering user engagement posed a challenge.

SOLUTIONS

We implemented a robust admin panel that allowed efficient content moderation, user management, and community guidelines enforcement. Automated tools and manual review processes worked in tandem to quickly address inappropriate content while keeping the platform welcoming and engaging.

2. Integrating Location-Based Event Discovery at Scale

Challenges

Providing an accurate, user-friendly event discovery experience across a large geographic area like North America required complex geolocation and map functionalities. Handling event data at multiple zoom levels and ensuring smooth interaction on various devices was technically demanding.

SOLUTIONS

We developed an interactive, zoomable event map that pins events by zip code and allows users to filter and explore events near them easily. Optimized backend processing and front-end design ensured smooth performance and scalability as the event database grows.

Tech Stack

React.js

Developed a dynamic and responsive frontend with a seamless user experience tailored for community engagement.

FastAPI (Python)

Built a robust, scalable backend with efficient API endpoints to handle complex social and event functionalities.

PostgreSQL

Utilized as the core relational database for managing user profiles, clubs, events, and transactional data.

AWS S3

Provided secure and scalable storage for media assets, including user-uploaded profile images and event materials.

Redis

Implemented for caching and real-time leaderboard updates to enhance performance and responsiveness.

JWT + bcrypt

Ensured secure authentication, user sessions, and data privacy across the platform.

WebSockets

Enabled real-time interactions such as message boards updates, notifications, and live event participation.

Mapbox API

Integrated for interactive, zoomable event maps with precise location-based features.
