Project Details
Client: The Times
Via Nexteam Network
The Times - Mobile App
Our network were the key people behind replatforming The Times Web and Mobile Apps to React & React Native.
Developed a CMS-driven React web app for news articles, featuring an extensible range of document node types. Including integrations with third-party advertising providers and utilising universal React components that seamlessly render in the mobile app through React Native.
We collaborated closely with Editorial, Commercial, Marketing, and UX & Design teams, while also working autonomously and with agility to meet aggressive and challenging deadlines.
As part of the project, we developed a custom typesetter in TypeScript to ensure accurate typography to closely replicate the print version of the newspaper. Which also featured constraint-based layouts for rendering of news articles.
As part of exit strategy we successfully handed over The Times components to an internal team
