A powerful job portal application built with Blogger backend API, smooth navigation, advanced job search, and real-time notifications for Bhutan's job seekers.
Extending Bhutan's #1 job portal to native mobile experience
Workiley already had a successful web platform (workiley.online) serving thousands of job seekers in Bhutan. However, over 80% of users accessed the site via mobile browsers. The experience was functional but not optimal. The client wanted a native Android application that would:
We built a complete native Android app that connects seamlessly to the Blogger API, delivering all the website's content in a beautiful, native mobile interface.
The key innovation was using Blogger API v3 as the backend. Since the website already published jobs as blog posts with structured data (job title, location, company, application link, salary), we could fetch and display the same content in the app without duplicating data entry.
This approach meant:
What makes the Workiley Android app powerful for job seekers
Powerful search with filters by keyword, location (dzongkhag), job category, and employment type. Instant results as you type, with relevance ranking.
Users can bookmark jobs to apply later. Saved jobs persist locally and sync across sessions. Never lose an interesting opportunity.
Instant alerts when new jobs are posted in categories or locations the user cares about. Never miss a deadline with timely reminders.
Each job includes a direct "Apply Now" button that opens the official application page in an in-app browser or external browser — seamless and secure.
Previously viewed jobs are cached locally. Users can browse saved jobs and read job descriptions even without an internet connection.
Clean, modern interface following Google's Material Design guidelines. Smooth animations, intuitive navigation, and a professional look that builds trust.
Native Android development with modern architecture
Why native Android? Native development provides the best performance, offline capabilities, and integration with device features (notifications, storage). Kotlin offers modern, concise, and safe code that's a joy to maintain.
How the app connects to Blogger backend
The app uses a clean MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture:
Designed for Bhutanese job seekers
Jobs categorized by all 20 dzongkhags of Bhutan. Users can filter jobs by their preferred location — from Thimphu to Trashigang, Paro to Phuentsholing.
Images are compressed and loaded lazily. Users on limited mobile data plans can still browse jobs efficiently.
Full dark mode support for comfortable browsing at night or in low-light conditions.
Each job includes a verified application link that opens the official employer portal. Users apply directly — no middlemen.
Clean, intuitive interface for job seekers
What the app achieved for Workiley and Bhutan's job seekers
From concept to Google Play Store
Analyzed website traffic data to understand user behavior. Defined must-have features: job listing, search, filters, saved jobs, notifications.
Created wireframes and high-fidelity mockups following Material Design. Focused on simplicity and speed.
Built with Kotlin, implemented API integration with Blogger, offline caching, and push notifications.
Beta testing with 100 users. Published to Google Play Store with continuous updates based on feedback.
What made this project successful
Using Blogger API instead of building a new backend saved months of development time and kept data synced perfectly with the website.
Caching jobs locally was crucial for users with intermittent internet connectivity. It became one of the most appreciated features.
Daily active users increased significantly after implementing notifications for new job postings.
Users don't want complex features. They want to find jobs fast and apply easily. Every feature was evaluated against this principle.
Whether you need a native Android app, iOS app, or cross-platform solution — we build fast, reliable, user-friendly mobile applications that connect with your existing backend.
