Otorafit - Gamified Fitness Territory App

Otorafit needed an innovative mobile application that combines fitness tracking with gamification and territorial exploration. The app aims to motivate users to stay active by turning real-world locations into claimable territories where users earn points. The platform required precise GPS tracking, complex geographical calculations for territory boundaries, a community system for user engagement, and admin controls for content management. Phase 1 focused on core features: authentication, territory claiming mechanics, points system, and community foundation.

We developed a cross-platform mobile app with advanced geolocation and gamification features: React Native with Expo providing unified codebase for iOS and Android, leveraging Expo's location services for background GPS tracking and native performance. Google Maps Integration implementing interactive map display, custom territory markers, user location indicator, and real-time map updates as users move and claim territories. Advanced Geospatial Logic using Turf.js for precise geographical calculations including point-in-polygon detection for territory claiming, area measurement for territory size validation, distance calculations, and custom territory boundary drawing. Territory Claiming System with two modes: predefined territories (set by admin) and custom territories (user-drawn areas), point allocation based on territory size and difficulty, prevention of duplicate claims and territory overlaps. Authentication System implementing secure user signup/login with JWT tokens, user profile management, and session handling across app restarts. Points & Gamification Engine tracking user points from territory claims, achievement system for milestones, leaderboard logic (prepared for Phase 2), and engagement metrics. Community Platform allowing admin to create, edit, and delete community posts, users to view community feed, and foundation for future social features like comments and reactions. Backend API using Node.js and Express for user authentication, territory data management, point calculations, and community post storage in MongoDB.
