Overview

Infomart is an online media monitoring service, it pulls the content from facebook, twitter, linkedin, and other web sources such as news websites. Aggregated content is presented to users based on their interest in specific topics and keywords.

My role was to rewrite legacy application on modern technologies and to refine certain features along the way. The legacy application was written on Backbone.js + jQuery and PHP on the backend, the new application is implemented on React/Redux and Scala/Play.

The most complex part of the application was customizable Newsletter application which provided a way to create custom newsletter templates by using variety of available widgets, and schedule delivery of newsletters to a list of recipients.
