I am working through the final touches for KONVOY before launch. Today I added a system for taking feature requests. This will allow me to build exactly what our users want and keep them updated on progress.

KONVOY now has over 250 of the best driving routes in the US. You can customize these routes to your liking and share your own routes with everyone on the app!

In the latest KONVOY beta update, I have added support for saving your favorite routes. Up next I will add public routes that I will curate & users can share them as well. These public routes will serve as a great starting point for your trips.

Over the weekend, while riding with a friend, I had a chance to compare side-by-side to another navigation app in a live environment. Overall the app performed pretty well. I am continuing to improve the route-builder and will be doing some multi-car tests soon.

Building routes on KONVOY is an essential feature to get right. I have been working to expand this capability to allow precision waypoint placement while maintaining easy navigation with search. A web companion experience will come soon as well

It was a wildly productive weekend fixing bugs from early beta results. There are still a lot of improvements and fixes to be made, but I am excited to have this in some early users' hands finally. If you aren't already in the beta sign up: https://konvoy.app/

This morning, I had an excellent time getting out to the first Caffeine and Octane of the year. I got to see some truly amazing vehicles including this gorgeous Lamborghini Countach. I can't wait to share KONVOY with these enthusiasts in the upcoming months.

I spent some time today in the Mapbox Studio. It's extremely powerful and a bit overwhelming with all of the options. I designed a dark-themed navigation map and added some 3d elements and more information that I think will be useful.

Finally got a good enough app icon to use for private beta. This could change before the official launch so let me know what you think! This was made from about 100 tries on ChatGPT.

I visited some friends for Christmas and used KONVOY to get there. It was a great test and I found a few issues. You can see 2 of the issues here. The first is the wrong roundabout icon, and the second is the blue line blocks the road sign.

I had a surprisingly easy time getting voice instructions set up today. I utilized the flutter_tts package and voice instructions work similarly to displaying banner instructions. I also added the voice chat button back.

I got the navigation icons working today. I had to contribute to the Flutter Mapbox API package and pull in the Icons Mapbox provides, but I am happy with the result. Getting close to a serviceable navigation system for beta.

I am spending most of my PTO working on my new app KONVOY. There is still a long way to go, but I was able to do some real navigation tests today. This week will be spent smoothing out and enhancing this experience.

I have wrapped up the Drive Wizard for KONVOY! I got a little behind due to a hectic week before the holidays, but this is a great step to getting back on track.

I spent today setting up some deep linking with Branch.io, I have used them since Firebase Dynamic Links got deprecated. I still miss the Firebase offering, but this gets the job done. This will enable users to invite drivers to their trips.

I've made some more progress on the trip detail page for KONVOY. This screen is what you will see before actually starting your navigation. You will see the route, other drivers, and be able to start the trip.

It's really exciting to see one of my articles for KONVOY get its first organic click on Google! Building SEO momentum will take a while, but I think it's going to help out a lot in the long run.

I have been able to get a good bit of the route building completed. The map needs to be styled and UI improved, but the core logic is there!

It's interesting to see where traffic comes to my landing page. It's still a small sample size, but do any of these surprise you?

Wrapped up the final onboarding screen today! This simple UI lets users add their vehicles, giving fellow KONVOY users a peek at what you're driving. Plus, it helps us customize your on-map avatar for a personalized touch.

I think social proof is important even when you are just at the waitlist stage. So, I spent some time adding some to the KONVOY landing page so you know you aren't alone!

I can't wait to take this thing to some car meets and start sharing KONVOY with other enthusiasts! Do you think my car will increase or decrease in value after the Jaguar rebrand?

I completed the UI for another onboarding page today. This time it's to determine your use case! This will automatically change some map & mic settings. #buildinpublic #indiemaker #cars #carenthusiast #overlanding
