I made another silly app
This one is a tiny bit more useful though

October 2022

I’ll keep it brief

I’m - very recently - coming off a six-month externship at Stripe, where I worked on pricing recommendations. Turns out I write a lot (making my poor manager read 10-page recommendations when they’re supposed to be ~5 pages). Thankfully, learning from my time there, I’ll keep this brief.

It’s a coupon app

Basically, this app helps you (i) keep track of coupons you and your S/O (or friends) have shared with each other, (ii) send new coupons and (iii) award / redeem previously-awarded coupons.

And it’s got some ‘real’ app features

I decided to be slightly less 80/20 (read: lazy) than usual, so there are few nice quality-of-life things, like (i) real-time notifications, (ii) ability to create accounts and add an arbitrary number of friends, and (iii) one delightful animation (thanks open source code!).

Here’s the full demo reel

The app was built with SwiftUI, with a tiny NodeJS server to handle notifications. Authentication and data storage are managed via Firebase. It’s missing some small things before it can be released (e.g. password reset emails) into the wild - we’ll see if I ever get around to that.
