The challenge

El País's iOS development team needed urgent reinforcement to deliver a critical feature under tight deadlines during the summer period. The existing workload could not absorb further delays without jeopardising a strategic product release.

The solution

AtalayaSoft assigned Francisco José García Navarro as a senior iOS engineer embedded in the El País team. His contribution proved decisive across several product features, with the greatest impact on the following:

Implementation of the in-app comments module

As senior iOS reinforcement, Francisco designed and built the in-app comments module, enabling readers to engage with published articles directly from the app without leaving it.

The development covered:

  • Architecture design and implementation of the comments module.
  • Integration with the team's existing backend systems and editorial APIs.
  • Code quality assurance aligned with the project's standards.
  • On-time delivery of the critical milestone within the release schedule.
