Projects in TraunsteinProjects in TraunsteinMushTrail helps you never lose your way in the forest. It records your path over GPS and always points you back home — fully offline, using just GPS and a compass. Built for mushroom foragers, it works for anyone who wanders off the trail.
The idea and most of the engineering are Ivan's @Ivan Lukichev . I owned the part that takes a strong product and gets it into people's hands:
• Localization into 8 languages (EN, DE, PL, FR, CS, FI, SV, RU)
• Full ASO — names, subtitles, keywords, descriptions per locale
• App Store Connect setup, subscriptions, and submission
• Handling the App Review process end to end, including a Guideline 2.1 review round
Result: approved and live on the App Store 🌲 Just shipped: VERT — Altimeter & Ski Tracker, live on the App Store. 🏔️
An honest altimeter and hike/ski tracker for iPhone, built around one idea: never lose your day, and never need a signal.
The craft decisions I'm proudest of:
→ Crash-safe by design. Every recording writes to disk continuously — no "press stop to save," no lost day, ever. I tested it against real SIGKILLs.
→ Offline-first, for real. Barometer for altitude, no account, no cloud. Nothing leaves the phone.
→ Honest numbers. The ± you see is the accuracy the OS actually reports — I refused to fake a comforting figure.
→ Real photographs, not stock. The backgrounds are my own shots from the Austrian Alps, keyed to the altitude in their EXIF.
→ Buy once, $1.99. No subscription. The paywall isn't a hostage situation — the app is fully useful free.
Ten languages. Made in Austria, on the trails it was built for. Version one — with plenty more, and Android, on the way.
