Episode 237: Pillars App

Abdul Rahman, fifth year medic at UCL, and Tariq Jamal, fourth year computer scientist at UCL, are creators of the app 'Pillars'. November 2020 saw a huge controversy around a leading Muslim app that involved data being sold to third parties without permission from the users. Consequently, that became a light bulb moment for our guests today, who saw a clear niche to solve this problem. Tariq, who at the time was already working on app development, was encouraged by Abdul Rahman's design ideas to materialise the concept. With no financial investment, and a transparent development process via social media, the support for their app rocketed immediately. 📦 GET THE FRESHLY GROUNDED CARD GAME: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com/prod...​ 💪 Support Freshly Grounded & Our Work: https://www.patreon.com/freshlygrounded​ ------ OUR FREE ONLINE COURSES 📚NEW: Automate Your Brand: Time-Saving Ways to Grow your Social Media Brand on a Budget: https://skl.sh/3pky0Hc   🤙 Huge thank you to our supporters and Patrons who allow us to keep this project alive: K Millz, Soraya, Nasrin Ahmed, Saira, Dully, Farishtah, Anisa Anshur, Loveley Miah, Hass Hussain, Sadiya haji, Arion Mapp, May_16, Faheem Ahmed, Sumayya Ahmed, Wasif
