Seekr is a search and AI company that scores content on credibility rather than popularity. CodigoDelSur built its Android and iOS products along two parallel tracks, one a native application and the other a mobile browser built on a fork of Chromium, over close to eighteen months between 2021 and 2023.
A credibility score only means something if the user sees it while deciding what to read. On a phone that is a browser problem, not an app problem: the rating has to travel with the page, not sit in a results list the user leaves behind on the first tap. So the product needed two things at once. A native app, the ordinary way to reach users, and a full mobile browser, the only way to keep the credibility layer present across the open web.
CodigoDelSur ran both tracks. The first was the native iOS and Android application for search and content discovery. The second was a mobile browser built on a Chromium fork, which meant working in the Chromium C++ codebase itself to carry Seekr's credibility scoring into the browsing experience rather than bolting it on at the edges. Running both on one team avoided duplicating the search and scoring logic. Stack: C++, Chromium, Swift, Kotlin, iOS, Android.
Two mobile products were delivered in parallel, one native and one a Chromium fork, across close to eighteen months of continuous engagement from 2021 to 2023. Credibility scoring was carried into the browsing experience itself, not only into search results. Very few nearshore teams have shipped a Chromium fork.
