THE MOUNTAIN PATHWAY
Live on the App Store — April 5, 2026
- Conceived, designed, and shipped a production web and iOS journaling app, owning the full lifecycle from problem definition and UX design through Capacitor-based iOS deployment and App Store launch
- Designed a guided 9-step journaling experience optimized for stillness and focus, translating abstract user needs into a clear, intentional interaction flow across web and mobile
- Migrated backend from local storage to Supabase (PostgreSQL, Auth, RLS), enabling secure persistence and real-time sync for scalable multi-user use
- Resolved 12+ production issues — including auth security vulnerabilities, deep link configuration, keyboard handling, and iOS-specific layout constraints
- Navigated three App Store rejections across four builds — including a build-time stub pattern to exclude donation strings (Guideline 3.1.1) and a secure server-side account deletion API using Supabase Admin (Guideline 5.1.1(v)) — resulting in launch on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026
- Executed a performance sprint: extracted six custom hooks, added a 41-test Vitest suite across 13 files, optimized Supabase queries — maintaining a passing suite through every feature addition
Read the full build log
- Implemented a build-time stub pattern that strips donation-related strings from the iOS bundle to satisfy App Store Guideline 3.1.1, while keeping the web build fully featured from a single codebase
- Configured Universal Links and deep linking (Associated Domains + apple-app-site-association) so shared journal links open directly in the native app
- Ran a TestFlight beta program to gather real-device feedback and surface iOS-specific issues ahead of the public launch
