    Architecture & offline-first core

    Kotlin Multiplatform foundation with a Compose Multiplatform UI, built offline-first from day one.

    • Shared KMP module for Android and iOS
    • Local Room storage as the single source of truth for the UI
    • Feed management: add, edit, reorder, favorite — fully usable with no network

  2. July 2026

    Shipped

    Accounts & cloud sync

    Supabase Auth and the first Edge Functions, with a sync model that can never destroy user data.

    • Email and social sign-in through Supabase Auth
    • One-directional sync: a fresh local session never overwrites the cloud
    • Network failures leave the local cache untouched instead of clearing it

    AI pipeline & audio processing

    The core idea went live: cluster duplicate coverage, summarize it once, and speak it out loud.

    • Embedding-based clustering groups reports on the same event
    • AI summaries generated as SSML for natural, podcast-like narration
    • Text-to-speech with a shared cloud cache — a popular story is processed once for everyone
    • On-device embedding generation and cosine-similarity clustering, running locally on the phone
    • Rich notifications with cluster preview images

    Daily digests & continuous player

    Scattered articles turned into a listening routine you can start with one tap.

    • Daily audio digests with background caching
    • Continuous, podcast-style player with autoplay and media-session controls
    • Connectivity-aware refresh so a dropped connection never breaks playback

    Launch — v1.0 on Google Play

    First public release of AudioFeed, built and shipped solo.

    • Kotlin Multiplatform client, serverless Supabase backend, smart caching
    • Curated feed catalog validated against the live network on every change

  6. September, weeks 3–4

    Shipped

    Post-launch: monetization, stability, growth tooling

    Five production releases in eleven days, turning a launched app into a measurable product.

    • RevenueCat subscriptions, paywall and tiered free-plan limits
    • Ads for the free tier, with cached digests keeping unit economics safe
    • Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics — the funnel is now measured, not guessed
    • Automated Google Play publishing from CI: a morning bug report ships the same day
    • R8 obfuscation, this public web page, and a live summary-catalog preview

  7. October 2026

    Shipped

    Tablet & large-screen adaptation

    The same shared Compose Multiplatform UI, properly adapted to big screens instead of stretched phone layouts.

    • Adaptive two-pane layout for Android tablets and large screens (sw600dp)
    • Navigation rail with master-detail selection for categories, clusters, and feeds
    • Landscape-optimized reading, detail views, and side-by-side player controls
    • Responsive feed cards and news pager supporting both phone and tablet form factors

  8. Now

    In progress

    iOS build

    Bringing the shared Compose Multiplatform UI and domain logic to iPhone.

    • Shared UI and domain layer already compile for iOS
    • Remaining work: platform media session, background audio, App Store release

  9. Next

    Planned

    Search, discovery & News RAG

    Ask your own news archive a question instead of scrolling back through it.

    • Instant in-app search across feeds, catalog and archived articles
    • Retrieval-augmented Q&A over your saved news pool to trace timelines and pull exact quotes

  10. Next

    Planned

    Feed folders & group digests

    Separate playlists per topic, so a five-minute sports digest never mixes with politics.

    • Organize custom feeds into categories
    • Clustering runs per group, producing an independent digest and playlist for each

  11. Next

    Planned

    Store expansion

    More places to install AudioFeed from.

    • Samsung Galaxy Store distribution alongside Google Play

  12. Next

    Planned

    Voice & TTS expansion

    More voices and engines, without tying the core experience to a single vendor.

    • Additional cloud TTS engines as premium options
    • Personalized voice selection and voice cloning
    • A local TTS engine bundled with the app, independent of the device default

  13. Next

    Planned

    Scheduled email & notification campaigns

    A scheduler that turns the daily digest into a retention channel, not just an in-app screen.

    • Scheduled email newsletters generated from the same clustered digests
    • Push campaigns for fresh clusters, re-engagement and new-feature announcements
    • Per-user send windows and topic opt-ins, so the cadence stays useful instead of noisy

  14. Next

    Planned

    Automated social marketing pipeline

    The app already produces the audio and the script — so acquisition becomes a by-product of the product.

    • Top daily clusters rendered into short vertical video briefs
    • Synced voiceover and subtitles, published to TikTok, Reels and Shorts on a schedule
