October 30 2018 - First release, Android 5.0 and above - Native Android Studio project, Java language, Parse Server backend
PenPals is a full-working application for finding new pen friends worldwide and get the feeling of sending/receiving real letters! Yes, that’s because the messages you’ll send will be delivered after a certain amount of days, depending on the distance between you and the receiver.
So this is not a common fast-chat or dating app, instead, it brings you to that old-style feeling when we didn’t have cell phones, computers, and e-mails, but just a pen, a piece of paper and a stamp
This app also allows users to also exchange Stamps by sending a request. It works in this way:
• User A selects one if his/her Stamps and sends an exchange request to User B
• User B gets a push notification and accepts such request
• User B selects one of his/her stamps and gets the User A’s stamp
• User A gets User B’s stamp
It has a lot of features like editing profile, attach a picture to a letter, remove and report Users, Location detection, search by Topics, Languages, and Countries, and much more.
Users don’t sign up or log in with a password, but just with a username and a valid email address, the app will email them a verification code in order to use all application’s features. So, you absolutely need your own server with PHP enabled where to upload a .php file into and allow your server to send emails through that file.
Avatars are pre-designed and included in the app.
It’s backend is by Parse Server and it’s hosted on back4app – NO MySQL database involved.
Parse Server is flexible, reliable, open source, based on Node.js and well supported by a large community of developers, and back4app is a great BaaS hosting website where you can configure your database and Facebook login features in just a few clicks.
This template includes an extensive HTML Documentation file that explains how to configure the app’s features and database.
If you want to use a nice Admin Panel to manage data of your database instead of using the Parse Dashboard, sign up for a FOREVER FREE account on Adminca.com and watch this video to see how to create a Panel for your Parse App.
