Genealogy & Family History Platform
Storied
Created a modern and elegant e-gift card for Intenza Brand Boutique. Emphasized minimalism and premium aesthetics with a sleek black holder and a dynamic, fitness-inspired card image to reflect the brand’s active lifestyle identity.
Industry :
Retail
Project Duration :
Oct 2024 - May 2025
Problem :
Traditional genealogy and storytelling platforms often struggle with outdated interfaces, slow performance, fragmented content management, and limited collaboration capabilities. Users needed a modern, media-rich platform that could support storytelling, family tree management, historical records, and collaborative publishing in a seamless and scalable experience. Additionally, the existing frontend architecture required modernization to improve performance, maintainability, and feature scalability without disrupting active users.
Solution :
Storied was enhanced and modernized through a large-scale frontend migration and feature expansion initiative focused on performance, scalability, and user experience.
Key solutions included:
Migration from React.js + Redux to Next.js with TanStack Query for improved SSR, caching, and state management
Rich storytelling interface supporting photos, audio, PDFs, tagging, and collaborative publishing
Family tree visualization and genealogical relationship management
Subscription and account management flows with secure upgrades and renewals
Feature-flagging infrastructure for progressive rollouts and safe QA transitions
Secure authentication and role-based access control using Auth0 and JWT
Performance optimization through lazy loading, code splitting, and tree-shaking
Modular UI architecture using MUI and Tailwind CSS for maintainability and scalability
The platform delivered a faster, more engaging user experience while improving storytelling workflows, subscription retention, and long-term frontend scalability.
Challenge :
Migrating a large-scale production application from React + Redux to Next.js + TanStack Query without user-facing downtime
Managing progressive feature rollouts while maintaining stability between legacy and new codebases
Optimizing performance for media-rich storytelling experiences across desktop and mobile devices
Handling complex relational data structures between stories, people, media, and family trees
Implementing secure subscription flows, payment handling, and access-level gating for paid features
Ensuring scalable and maintainable frontend architecture during rapid feature development
Integrating Auth0 authentication with secure session management and role-based permissions
Maintaining UI consistency and modularity across a growing component ecosystem
Supporting collaborative publishing, privacy controls, and public/private content distribution workflows
Improving SEO, caching, and page performance through SSR and optimized data-fetching strategies
