Beta 12 is Done! We are over the hump!

A hell of a phase! Much labor of love, dealing with numerous technical challenges, redesigning an entirely different architecture, API, and here we go! We made all pre-planned sections of the app offline accessible! We didn't cheat, didn't take any shortcuts, and stayed committed. Now we are really proud of ourselves. In this post, I'll briefly cover the problem we faced before Beta 12, our solution to overcome it, and its implementation during beta 12. I also discuss the reasons behind why we accepted the challenge in the first place.

Beta 12 Third Quarter Update

I have been keeping a low profile during the last few months as I have been heavily occupied with completing my share of tasks in Beta 12. Now I thought it would be a proper time to give you a quick update on our progress and other affairs in the company. Lengthy Beta 12 First of all, we were facing numerous technical challenges that we had encountered in making some sections of the app offline accessible. Although we have managed to tackle them one by one, they made us complete many tasks of other phases ahead of us. They made us go out of the scope of the Beta 12 phase many times. Second, we were changing a lot of things under the hood, and applying any change requires us…

Mid-Beta-12 Update

Alright, it's time for another quick mid-phase update. Beta 12 is getting lengthy or at least it can be expected to get somewhat similar to Beta 11 in which we made almost half of the iOS app offline accessible. We blame our high aspiration to support offline interactions while we are a relatively small team. No regrets though! It's bewildering to see how much you can expand your presumed limits. About We/Us More often I use "We/Us" in my updates. That's because in an alternate world we've been posting these updates in the company's blog at this point. However, thanks to COVID-19, last year we decided not to launch the platform and not to reveal the app/company's name. That's why I keep posting updates here. So, by "We" I refer…

Beta 11 is Done!

It’s been quite a while since I posted an update. Too many things happened in the company, in my personal life and frankly talking about them was my least priority. Without further ado, I’m gonna talk about the most important events: The iOS Offline version is out! Yep, it was the major change I was talking about in my last few blog posts. We have been working hard for the last 3 months or so to bring the offline experience to the platform so users can access their data and interact with the app while they are offline as well. Today we release our first offline version (0.14.0) for iOS users. It includes a lot of fundamental changes in the app architecture and brings offline experience to almost half of…
