We Made an UberEats Clone and Made the App Repo Open Source

Having spent four years navigating the world of proprietary software, we are thrilled to announce our shift to open source with the launch of Enatega (enatega.com) – a delivery management software tailored specifically for entrepreneurs venturing into food delivery or similar industries.

Here's a concise overview of what Enatega offers:

1. Streamlined Setup: Bid farewell to complex workflows and tools. Enatega simplifies the setup process, requiring just a few commands to run the project locally on your system.

2. Flexible Infrastructure: Enatega seamlessly operates across various platforms, providing unmatched flexibility. Whether testing on emulators or physical devices, Enatega effortlessly adapts to your setup, allowing for customization to meet your specific needs.

3. Embracing Open Source: Enatega wholeheartedly embraces the principles of open source, offering users access to live demos, comprehensive documentation, and instructional videos. This wealth of resources ensures that users can confidently explore and leverage the software's full capabilities without feeling overwhelmed.

Our Journey to Open Source:

Four years ago, we set out on a journey to develop Enatega as a side project at Ninjas Code (ninjascode.com), our software development agency. Initially, our aim was to compete with a local food delivery app company by leveraging our software development expertise to address identified shortcomings. However, as we realized our lack of marketing skills in challenging industry giants, we shifted our focus to helping others launch their own delivery services. While we initially relied on third-party marketplaces for marketing, unforeseen circumstances led to the closure of the marketplace, marking the end of this phase of our journey.

Recognizing the need for a swift pivot, we utilized our development expertise and opted to open-source our App Repo to overcome our marketing challenges. Since then, we've observed significant traction without extensive paid marketing. Our value proposition extends beyond the product itself; we offer visibility to other contributors and provide tangible technical experience by involving them in a project utilized by over 100 startups.

Understanding the importance of monetization, we devised a business model where the backend is offered as a licensed product, while the API remains open. We acknowledge that many enterprises choose to completely open-source their projects, but our business model requires customization and may not be feasible otherwise.

App Repo Unveiled:

Enatega Multivendor provides a comprehensive solution for multi-vendor food delivery accessible on iOS, Android, and the Web. With Amplitude managing the dashboard and analytics, we prioritize outstanding designs for both mobile and dashboard applications, aiming to ensure smooth integration into any meal delivery service.

The mobile component is developed using React Native and Expo, while React is utilized for crafting the dashboard panel and customer web app. GraphQL is employed across both web and mobile platforms, with the Apollo Client managing endpoint querying and state management. Node, alongside MongoDB, drives the creation of the API.

Enatega Multivendor boasts a well-organized codebase, simplifying development by eliminating unnecessary screens, and incorporates additional functionalities to enhance capabilities for restaurant or food delivery service applications.
