DCC Weekly Activities: an iOS app from idea to App Store

In detail

Desi Cycling Club · 2024 to 2026 · Product owner and developer

A 22,000-line native iOS app that gives a cycling club weekly leaderboards, trends and coaching insight that Strava doesn't offer, designed, built and shipped end to end.

Scale: 22K lines of Swift · 55+ features · 80 Swift files · 50+ Jira stories · serverless backend

The challenge

Club members wanted club-level weekly stats and comparisons. Strava shows individual rides only. There was no budget, no team and no existing app, so delivery discipline had to come from one person.

What I did

• Designed and built the app in Swift 6 and SwiftUI with iPhone, iPad and Apple TV support, Face ID, on-device speech recognition and full VoiceOver accessibility.

• Built the backend on Cloudflare Workers with KV caching, cron refresh and an OAuth token proxy so secrets never leave the server.

• Integrated the Strava and Jira APIs; ran sprint-based delivery in Jira with regression checklists and a change-control framework for protected files.

• Used AI-assisted development with written guardrails to ship faster without regressions on critical paths.

Outcome

• Live in the App Store after TestFlight beta, with 55+ features and no regressions on critical paths.

• Sub-100ms cached responses from edge locations worldwide.
