Eemo: Short-Form Content Testing
A lighter sibling of the DIY research platform, built for short-form video. I wrote the web product — Next.js, Stripe billing, S3 uploads, live dashboards — 177 commits, sole author. The company has since shut it down.
Overview
Eemo was a smaller sibling of our main research platform, narrowed to short-form video: put a piece of content in front of an audience, collect what comes back, and hand the client a readable result. Same shape as the larger product, a fraction of the surface area, and a far shorter path from signing up to seeing something.
What I built
The web product, end to end: a Next.js application of roughly 6,600 lines across 177 commits between March and July of 2022, every commit mine. Authentication and sessions, Stripe on the billing path, uploads to S3 with server-side image processing on the way in, results rendered as charts, and a socket connection for the views that had to update while you watched them rather than on a refresh.
The mobile side
There was a companion React Native app, and it shipped to the App Store and Google Play. That is worth one sentence rather than a paragraph: getting a build signed, through review and out to both stores is a real skill, and it is a different one from writing the app.
It no longer exists
The company shut the product down. That happens to most spin-off products and it does not retract the work, but it does change what the entry is for. This one is here as evidence of a complete commercial build — payments, storage, auth, reporting, two clients — delivered alone and quickly, not as something you can go and sign up for.
