Design, development and distribution — solo, ~8 weeks, triple CTO / Product Owner / RSSI hat
Context
Design, code, secure and ship Lirix solo, from idea to stores: cross-platform app (iOS, Android, Web) from a single TypeScript codebase, Fastify + Prisma backend, BullMQ cron workers, full CI/CD and automated publishing to the App Store and Google Play. Product positioning: no infinite feed, no ads, no tracking.
Results
- End-to-end delivery in ~8 weeks: mobile (Expo/React Native New Arch), web (SPA), API and workers in production
- Gamification 2.0 — XP, levels, badges, claim-based quests, 30-day reading duels between friends
- GDPR by design: instant soft-delete + automatic purge after 30 days, SHA-256 hashed phone numbers for contact matching, OAuth PKCE, JWT + JWKS, strict CSP
- Automated distribution: every push → lint, tests, DB migration, API/workers/web deploy + mobile OTA via EAS Update
