@Bulawaa is new invite app

Little over few months ago I shared here my experiences about 2016. What a learning curve it was, the technology stack, hiring, email communication, negotiating, branding, etc. which finally resulted into this wonderful app. that gave birth to new way of invitation.

I cannot be more proud to announce that today we are making bulawaa public

Bulawaa is traditional Hindi language word for invite. Bulawaa is new way of invitation. The great way to get-together for occasions, celebrations that you care and love. With different variety and range of greeting cards, its your one stop invite app. Its minimal design and ad-free experience makes this invitation more personal than ever before.

Findings & Problems:

Today we know the market is flooded with tons of invite app but none of them fulfill the expectation what individual is looking for. For e.g. when trying to find the card for a specific occasion its disappointing to discover that ;

“Oh shit that card does not exist and so I will have to see something similar which is close to the idea or probably I will have to compromise with card or content or both”.

Another problem with different invite app is the way the content is organized. Few have overwhelming content but not well organized and festive cards are missing. Design distraction is another major issue that today invites apps are facing. With ads rolling everywhere, even in the invitation email that user receives. Its is been frustrating part for the customers and visitors.

Solution:

Bulawaa cares to give you the most personal, rich and thoughtful invite experience. With its bold, minimal design, rich and unique greeting cards you do not have to look anywhere else. Your buck stops here for all the occasion invites. All guests invited are special and so should the invites with Bulawaa. Its on a mission to bring all celebrations from around the world under one platform.

I am very happy and proud to tell that we are bringing religious festivals which breaks the barrier even further and brings people together. Cards like Holi, Dussehra and more.

Its Progressive Web App

Progressive Web Apps are experiences that combine the best of the web and the best of apps. They are useful to users from the very first visit in a browser tab, no install required. It loads quickly, even on flaky networks, sends relevant push notifications, has an icon on the home screen, and loads as a top-level.

Progressive : Works for every user, regardless of browser choice because it’s built with progressive enhancement as a core tenet.

Responsive : Fits any form factor: desktop, mobile, tablet, or whatever is next.

Connectivity independent : Enhanced with service workers to work offline or on low-quality networks.

App-like : Feels like an app, because the app shell model separates the application functionality from application content.

Fresh : Always up-to-date.
