Challenges

1. Maintaining Media Quality In Low Memory Devices:

Today, devices with the latest OS configurations support high-quality images, but the same images are not visible in low configuration devices. If an HD-Quality image with high resolution is opened in low configured devices, it throws an error of: Out of memory. Maintaining media quality across all devices was the biggest challenge faced during development. By compressing images to a standard format, our developers maintained the image quality across multiple devices.

2. Video Trimming:

Well, uploading and sharing video to Storyboard is not that hard enough, but the actual challenge is to allow users to upload a restricted video duration. To enable users to upload small duration video, our developers need to provide users an option to trim the video. During the development phase, it was quite intricate to build an actual video trimmer. Our developer's experience helped us create a custom video trimmer that allows users to trim video before uploading it to the Storyboard.

3. Maintain Persistency Across Android Users:

In such a highly fragmented Android world, every device camera configuration is different, so it behaves accordingly. Maintaining persistence across all device cameras is highly essential. Our developers build custom cameras using Android SDK that persistently works across all Android and iOS devices to overcome this scenario.

4. Encryption And Decryption:

As per the client requirement, whenever a user performs any event, the request is sent in the server's encrypted format. Similarly, the server decrypts the request and sends a response in the decrypted form. Maintaining the same encryption standard among multiple platforms was the biggest challenge faced by developers. However, our developers used AES (Automatic Encryption Standard) to maintain consistency across various platforms.
