Building for web and mobile in 2024
summary
Built a Rails-backed parent-school app called Flamingo as a hybrid plus PWA: three repositories (Rails plus iOS and Android shells) with business logic kept in Rails, five female engineers out of nine on the team, and a calendar shipped later. Native notifications use Firebase (no bills after six months); browsers required web push so the app adds a service worker with VAPID keys via pushpad/web_push and a push Stimulus controller. Hotwire (Turbo frames/streams) and the notice gem handle in‑app updates and realtime messaging, and the hybrid approach proves deploy‑fast and functional.
