Pinny
A US-based social gifting startup on a mission to make group giving simple, fun, and meaningful. Pinny lets friends and family pool money together to give the gifts that actually matter — eliminating the awkward back-and-forth of coordinating contributions and making the whole experience feel as good as the gift itself.
Challenges
What we came in to solve
Build a social gifting platform from scratch — one where the product experience had to feel delightful and frictionless for first-time users.
Ship an MVP fast enough to validate the market while keeping the codebase extensible for the features that would follow.
Coordinate design and development simultaneously, translating a vision into a working product without a dedicated in-house tech team.
Solution

FlyDevs designed the architecture and built Pinny end-to-end — a cross-platform mobile app with group gifting mechanics, payment processing, and social features.

- Payment integration
group payment collection and payout processing with fraud protection
- Social features

clean, extensible codebase designed for fast iteration post-launch
