Work log

An app waitlist with saved signups

  • Added a website waitlist with explicit email consent and links from the homepage, while keeping the app preview available.
  • Added server-side signup storage, duplicate handling and retryable error states, with checks that storage is ready before publication.

API catalogs in the simulator

  • Added a development mode for loading API-backed storefronts, products and images in the iOS simulator.
  • Kept sample shops behind an explicit preview option and added tests for catalog pagination and simulator requests.

Product images and a stationery catalog

  • Added optimized thumbnail and detail image delivery, with the iOS app falling back to the original image if an optimized request fails.
  • Prepared a stationery storefront and source catalog with notebooks, planners and gift sets, including product options and photographs.
  • Removed fixed storefront identities from the iOS app so catalog discovery can use unfamiliar shop IDs, while keeping existing delivery Live Activities compatible.
