ToDooly

ToDooly was a start up in Detroit where I got my professional start.

I lead technology and built a full marketplace platform for gig workers - targeted at yard work and various other household jobs.

The platform consisted of 2 mobile apps - one for “todoers” and one for “clients”, enabling clients to post jobs that the helpers could find and do, and then get paid for.

There were many complex systems involved in the app, which required a robust backend built on express.js and mySQL - such as scheduling reminders, geolocation verifiers, clock in and out, payment processing, and much more.

I worked at ToDooly for a bit over 2 years before moving on to create Anonacy.

v1

The first version of “ToDoolie” was built by a team of two, me working full stack with an additional backend engineer. We built the full app in about 3 months as part of Techstars.

It involved 4 distinct projects:

1. ToDoer App - used by workers to finding jobs, clock in, and get paid
2. Client App - used by people to post job listings, manage workers, and pay them’
3. Express.js Node Backend - REST api server, integrated with many external services
4. Admin Dashboard - Admin UI built in angular for team to manage everything

I don’t have the old store listing previews for the first version of the app :/
The best I can do are the very random dev screenshots from a very early build of the ToDoer app I found in some dusty folder on my hard drive.

v2

Todoolie was rebranded as ToDooly and now used a multi color scheme with this new character as the logo.

The designs involved many custom made icons for a more fun UI.

“Patron” App

“Doer” App

The v2 apps continued on the same 4 projects that v1 started - much of it was more of a complete UI redesign.
