Coptic History Mobile Application
A solo end-to-end iOS app built to make Coptic Orthodox history easy to explore and revisit. Designed, engineered, and shipped independently in Swift.
Motivation
Existing resources were either scattered across the web or formatted for desktop. Nothing was designed for casual mobile reading.
I wanted a structured, distraction-free reference I could return to repeatedly without losing my place.
Building it myself was an opportunity to ship a complete iOS product solo, from design to App Store.
Solution
Designed a content-first navigation structure that lets users browse by topic and return to sections quickly.
Kept the UI minimal so the content stays the focus: no social features, no noise.
Owned the entire product lifecycle: content architecture, UX design, Swift implementation, and release.
Key Engineering Decisions
Structured content storage to scale as material is added, avoiding a rewrite when scope grows.
Prioritized a complete, polished core experience over a broad feature set.
Applied the same production discipline to a personal project: defined scope, deliberate architecture, clean release.
Outcome
A fully shipped iOS app demonstrating product ownership, UX thinking, and the ability to take something from idea to release independently.
