When standard solutions just don't fit your needs anymore, sometimes the only way is to build your own. We helped make that happen. Check out the results.

Today we are talking about the Kinderlime platform, which we worked on.

We at Evrone are used to complex projects, but Kinderlime is a different story.

It’s an app for private daycare centers and preschools in the US. It handles all the administrative work: contactless check-in and check-out, payment collection, staff management, and enrichment programs. In short, everything that helps educators focus on the children instead of paperwork. The service is popular – more than 30,000 centers use it.

The client came to us with an existing Rails application. But the business was growing, the feature set was expanding, and the monolith was starting to slow things down. The goal was to separate the frontend and backend via a REST API and build a new frontend based on ready‑made mockups.

Here’s what we did. We wrote a library on top of Redux and Axios that generates API requests, reducers, and response handling. Without it, we would have had to write the same code hundreds of times. We also built a custom form builder from scratch: support for custom questions, multi‑step forms, and custom fields. We added a CRM with dashboards that collect all conversion analytics. We built an email builder as well – custom campaigns, mailing list management, automated notifications to parents of enrolled children – all while ensuring correct rendering in Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail, and other clients.

On the technical side: React, Redux, Webpack, Stripe integration, CircleCI for continuous integration, AWS for storage, and Cypress for testing – we achieved 90% test coverage.

In the end, Kinderlime didn’t just get a modernized product; they gained transparent communication and an effective engineering team that integrated smoothly with their product team. The new features and interface helped attract even more customers.

EdTech is never easy, especially at the scale of thousands of educational institutions. If you have a similar challenge – reach out, we’re ready to help.

Cool experience, great case. Thanks to colleagues for the interesting project.

We know how to build a modern media platform. Do you? This case is an example of how the right team can solve multiple global challenges at once.

The publication VentureBeat – a leading technology media outlet with an audience of over 6 million readers – came to us. Their platform, which had been in operation for 20 years, had become outdated and no longer met modern requirements. The task was complex: to expand the capabilities of the editors, reduce operational costs, and ensure seamless work with a massive archive of over 130,000 articles. And all of this – within a tight deadline.

Our audit revealed that the optimal solution would be the headless CMS Contentful as the foundation for future growth. Why Contentful specifically?

✅Headless architecture enables rapid frontend development and a modern user interface.

✅Its flexibility allows editors to easily create and manage content.

✅Compared to the previous CMS, the system offers better scalability and performance.

✅It is a cost-effective solution, especially when combined with a hybrid storage model.

The biggest challenge was migrating the entire article archive. A full import into Contentful would have been prohibitively expensive. We implemented a hybrid model: fresh content was placed in Contentful for speed and flexibility, while the archive was moved to a cost-effective cloud storage, preserving all link equity. This immediately reduced the client's CMS operational costs by over 20%.

The work progressed swiftly: while the new design was being created, custom Python scripts for data validation and automated migration were developed in parallel. As a result, VentureBeat achieved a seamless transition with no data loss or downtime, and gained a fault-tolerant, scalable platform. Now, the publication has not just an updated website, but a ready foundation for future growth.
