**About us:**
Smarter Contact is an innovative SMS marketing tool for real estate investors in the USA. The platform allows clients to convert their leads using text message marketing and built with an intuitive CRM.
Our goal for 2021 is to rewrite an existing client application from scratch with new technologies to address scalability, the pace of innovation, and durability.

- React 17
- ChakraUI
- TypeScript
- NodeJS 14
- Firebase (Firestore, CloudFunctions).
- Numerous APIs, including Twilio, Stripe, etc.

Our engineering team is based in Kyiv and includes:
- 3 FE engineers - 2 of them work on a new application based on React and Firebase, 1 is supporting current production; 3 more to hire;

Backend code has 100% coverage with unit tests (Jest). Frontend code is being covered by e2e tests (Cypress). Our next goal is to achieve TDD: write tests before implementing features. All our code follows Airbnb ESLint code style. We have a cross-code-review process, where at least 2 engenders have to approve MR to merge. All CI/CD process is automated, including tests, code style checks, and release process.

**Project Insights:**
smartercontact.com v2 - is being built with the current version of React using bleeding-edge technologies. We use the “fat client” approach where most of the logic resides on a client-side with direct access to the database. It allows us to minimize the backend part and focus more on features and speed up the development process.
We use the Chakra UI component library customized for our design system. We also use the ReactFire library to work with Firestore reactively and enable clients to always be in a loop.
