Challenges we ran into

One specific hurdle we encountered while building AgriEasy was the development of AgriEasy was implementing the image and video upload feature for the help desk. Initially, we encountered issues with file size limitations and slow upload speeds, which hindered user experience.

To resolve this, we:

Optimized File Size: We implemented image compression techniques to reduce the size of images before uploading, ensuring quicker uploads without compromising quality.

Used Async Processing: We adopted asynchronous programming to manage uploads in the background, allowing users to continue using the app while their files uploaded.

Provided Feedback: We added progress indicators to inform users of the upload status, which enhanced their experience and kept them engaged.
