Cab Compare

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whichone.cab_compare_price
A Flutter-based app that allows users to compare prices of multiple ride-hailing services in one go and then proceed to book via an in-app browser. Ride prices are fetched from the web apps of service providers by adding hooks to Ajax calls sent to their respective servers.

WhichOne: Shopping Browser

https://whichone.in
A Flutter-based cross-platform app (Android and iOS) that aims to simplify the online shopping experience on mobile devices. It solves two critical pain points for a shopper:

• Shortlisting and comparing products between multiple platforms.
• Discussing with friends to get their opinion.

Developed an eCommerce scraping system using Node.js and Puppeteer. The back end was deployed on preemptible instances of GCP to leverage changing IP addresses.

DrawGuess

https://drawguess.fun
DrawGuess is an online, cross-platform port of the classic drawing and guessing game—Telephone Pictionary. It also features a WebRTC-based group voice call for players to interact together.
The game has garnered over 75,000 user sketches within three months of its launch.

URL Shortener

https://rapidapi.com/abhishekborar93/api/fast-url-shortener
A fast and scalable URL shortener service built using AWS Lambda and DynamoDB. It supports setting a TTL on shortened URLs and can redirect to different URLs (e.g., for Android and iOS) using user-agent-based detection.

Address App

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atdexters.address
A Flutter-based app to simplify address sharing for users. A user can save their address along with the GPS coordinates in this app. Saved addresses can be shared with people over WhatsApp, SMS, email, etc. A public web page is generated for each shared address. This page has options for a user to see directions or book a cab with one click.

IdentifyMe

IdentifyMe aims to solve Identity-as-a-service.

To start with, it offers an end-to-end phone verification service that allows organizations to integrate login and signup via phone as easily and reliably as a social login via Google or Facebook. It also solves the SMS reliability issue by using a novel, missed-call-based OTP delivery mechanism, which is inherently more reliable and faster.

Musicmonk

Musicmonk is an intelligent music-streaming service that automatically plays music to your taste.

It is a departure from playlist-based music toward mood-based music. Users start by selecting a song from a pre-computed list of distinct songs based on the user's history. As the session progresses, the user is presented with music based on real-time feedback (duration and skip).

A new interface, still under development, can be found on the website.
