Diaspora Student Living Platform
Smart Dining, Built for Real Life.
This is a super-app for students who have moved away from home to study. Five interconnected products — meal ordering, beverages, housing, jobs, and tutoring — shipped in 8 weeks on iOS and Android.
Client and product names are kept confidential under NDA.
5 Products. 8 Weeks. Zero Handoffs.
Students Relocated to Study. No Single Platform Helped Them Land.
Whether moving from another country or another province, diaspora students face the same wall: unfamiliar food, no housing network, no jobs, no community, and no support — all at once. Every need was scattered across a different app, service, or website that wasn't built for them.
Students craved food from home but couldn't find it nearby. Generic delivery apps offered no mood filtering, no student pricing, and no neighbourhood discovery tailored to campus life.
Finding safe, affordable accommodation without local connections was stressful and risky. Students relied on scattered Facebook groups and word of mouth — with no vetting, no structure.
Being far from home with no built-in social circle takes a real toll. No platform connected students to community events, wellness resources, or peers in the same situation.
Student-friendly employment and academic support existed in disconnected silos. Finding a part-time job, an internship, or a tutor meant navigating five different platforms with no student context.
We Didn't Build One App. We Built Five — And Shipped Them Together.
Build Me App architected this as a true super-app: five products sharing one platform, one brand, and one native codebase for iOS and Android — designed, built, and launched in 8 weeks.
Students pick a mood, a budget, and a neighbourhood — stuEats surfaces the right meals from local restaurants. Preset meal packs, custom builds, weekly plans, bundle deals, and student discounts are all built in. A 6-month free subscription for early adopters drives initial adoption.
A companion to stuEats that matches beverages to meals and moods. Not an afterthought — a dedicated product that deepens the dining experience and increases average order value for restaurant partners.
A structured listings board connecting students to verified accommodation options. Replaces the chaos of Facebook groups and unvetted listings with a purpose-built, student-first experience.
A single board for student-friendly employment and academic support. Part-time jobs, internships, and tutoring services — all in one place, filtered to what students actually need.
Restaurant and service partners get a real-time dashboard: order volumes, revenue analytics, pre-order management, and menu controls. Vendors operate independently without needing support from the platform team.
Production-Grade Infrastructure. Shipped in Weeks, Not Months.
5 Products Shipped in 8 Weeks. One Studio. Zero Handoffs.
stuEats, stuDrinks, Housing, Jobs & Tutoring, and a Vendor Dashboard — all designed, built, and launched by one studio. No agency handoffs, no coordination overhead.
From zero to App Store in 8 weeks. Native apps on both platforms with mood-based ordering, pre-order management, and a live vendor network from day one.
Full brand identity, subscription model, and early-adopter programme in place. The platform launches with the infrastructure to grow from campus to city to country.
"We had the idea for years. Build Me App made it real in two months. I didn't know that was even possible."
