Leveraging the collective cannabis industry and the software development experience of its founders, Budist engaged with First Factory to take the product from ideation to implementation. At the start of the project, a UX/UI designer was added to focus on the product priorities, which would establish the platform’s credibility. The engineering team's choice of technologies focused heavily on enabling Budist to get to market faster, from quick release cycles and low maintenance to ensuring consistent quality across versions. The application was built for scalability to accommodate the high volume of users and support features such as social sharing.
