Overview

The Challenge & Vision

The client, a renowned cultural institution, had a standalone app designed to enrich visitor experiences at libraries and historical sites. The app featured extensive high-resolution historical imagery, aiming to transport users back in time with vivid visual details. However, the large image sizes (several GBs) significantly affected the app’s performance, leading to sluggish load times and unsatisfactory user experience.

Challenges

The key challenge we faced was the app’s standalone nature, which restricted our ability to conduct extensive testing or implement radical changes.

  • The primary challenge was the app's standalone nature, which limited our ability to perform thorough testing or introduce significant changes.
  • Frequent delays occurred when accessing commonly requested data, primarily caused by excessive database queries
  • A solution was needed to reduce wait times for high-resolution images to load completely.
  • Managing frequently accessed data without overwhelming the database became a growing challenge, highlighting the need for a more efficient approach.
