Statistics students needed a learning app that was easier to access than a desktop-only R workflow. The broader project evolved across web, backend, forum, Android, and iOS work.
How I fixed it
My part focused on the iOS-ready mobile version using React Native and Expo, while keeping the app connected to the existing RWikiStat ecosystem, Firebase data, modules, and discussion flow.
What it can do
✓iOS and Android mobile app
✓Statistics learning modules
✓R code practice
✓Discussion forum
✓Firebase-backed auth and data
✓App Store release
The stack that shipped it
React Native and Expo let the team move toward iOS and Android from one codebase. Firebase kept auth and learning data available across the web and mobile versions.
What changed
The app was published on the Apple App Store and evaluated with 22 students, reaching an 88.26% UMUX score in usability testing.
What I learned
This project taught me to balance product polish with academic evaluation: the app had to work well, but the research method also had to be clear.
