Another milestone reached this weekend, we now have the Windows and Android versions of the Bike Law Pocket Guide up and running. Now we get to work through those app store options, meaning Microsoft, Google and Amazon each for the various versions. This work is the culmination of our 'Phase 1' work on this project. Enough to get it assembled and pushed out the door to make it available to as many people as possible.
This may not sound like much to a non-developer, but this project is far bigger than most people would realize. First off, this is a native application on every platform. The Android version is written in Kotlin, Windows is in C# using WPF, the Apple apps are written in Swift using SwiftUI, and the backend services are written C#. That is a lot of different technologies, but in order to provide the best user experience, we felt that it was worth the work. Now, we are largely at the mercy of the app stores. Submit, wait for review. In the meantime, we are also prepping the Desktop versions for direct download as well.
Coming soon, Phase 2, getting it in the hands of as many people as possible.
