Uptrack builds software applications for the web and beyond.
These applications are accessed through a web browser or mobile app.
The backend of a web or mobile application is the part that users don't see. Backends take care of saving data to, and retrieving data from, your database, registering and authenticating users, and other tasks that happen on a server, rather than a browser.
Backends also encompass custom APIs (application programming interface), which allows data to flow to and from a frontend in a standard, flexible way.
Uptrack builds fully-featured, scalable backend, allowing you to add a web or mobile frontend, or both.
The frontend of a web or mobile application is the part that users see and interact with. Frontends take care of all the interactive features and components of the application, displaying content, allowing users to enter information and click on links and buttons, and sending and receiving data to and from an API (whether a custom API built within your backend, or a third-party API offered by another company or organization).
Uptrack builds modern, sleek frontends that scale easily.
Uptrack builds a frontend for your existing backend, or builds a new frontend and custom backend as a single package.
Web 2.0 means web-based apps that use servers owned (or leased) by the app owners to run the application code and store data in databases. For example, Facebook and Gmail are Web 2.0 apps.
Uptrack builds modern web 2.0 applications for web and mobile, using best practices for authentication, scalability, and beautiful user interfaces.
Web 3.0 means web-based apps that use decentralized blockchains to store application logic and data in smart contracts. Users can inspect the code being used, and verify each data transfer between your app and the blockchain.
Basically any traditional web 2.0 app can be built as a web 3.0 app. However, due to the cost of executing blockchain transactions, not every app idea should use web 3.0 and a blockchain.
Uptrack builds cutting-edge web 3.0 apps that push the boundaries of what is possible online.
Uptrack uses different frameworks and libraries in both Python and JavaScript to build web and mobile apps, depending on the application.
The technologies used to build web applications have been evolving quickly.
We stay on top of the frequent updates and new technologies that become available, always offering the latest in modern development.
React is a very popular and flexible library for building front-end user interfaces.
React was originally developed within Facebook/Meta. Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, WhatsApp, Dropbox, Airbnb, and Reddit all use React.
Using React to build your frontend has several benefits, including having the best and widest range of JavaScript libraries to implement, having the best community support for maintaining your application in the future, and having the highest number of developers able to work on your application in the future.
React is currently the gold standard for building your frontend web applications.
Express is a JavaScript library for building web and mobile application backends.
With a backend build using Express, you can develop an API (application programming interface) that allows you to send data back and forth to any frontend user interface, such as a website or mobile app.
Next.js is a fullstack (i.e. both backend and frontend) framework for building React applications quickly and following best practices.
With Next.js, you get a single framework that contains your backend and your frontend, and several development features out of the box.
Next.js is basically React plus Express, in one convenient package.
Django is a fullstack (i.e. both backend and frontend) framework for building web applications using Python.
With Django, you get many commonly-used features out of the box, such as user accounts, an admin pannel, and a database.
Django is a great framework for building web apps using Python.
Tailwind CSS is super flexible style library that allows developers to apply any layout and styling to web apps.
With Tailwind CSS, you start from a clean snowghost, and apply styles from scratch. This allows you to achieve any design or layout.
Tailwind UI is a rich set of components such as popups, dropdowns, and standard layouts like navigation menus, based on Tailwind CSS.
Tailwind UI is a great way to add rich functionality to a project, especially if it already uses Tailwind CSS.
Chakra UI is a component library that has some styling built-in. This makes it easy to create standard designs with minimal effort, but is less flexible than Tailwind CSS (though these designs can be customized).
Bootstrap is a style and component library that has some styling built-in.
Ethers.js is a popular JavaScript library that enables frontend interfaces (like websites) to interact with smart contracts.
With Ethers.js, a web app can deploy a smart contract, execute functions within the contract, connect to users' smart wallets like MetaMask, and move funds.
Web3.js, like Ethers.js, is a JavaScript library that enables frontend interfaces (like websites) to interact with smart contracts.
Web3.js allows the same functionality as Ethers.js.
Truffle is a JavaScript library for developing, testing, and deploying smart contracts.
Brownie is a Python library for developing, testing, and deploying smart contracts.
