KONVOY Dev Log Week 12: Pre-Launch Content and Final Preparations
A major milestone reached with over 250 curated routes added to KONVOY, as we prepare for the imminent App Store launch while reconnecting with the car community.
Building the foundation for KONVOY: From initial app setup to tackling VOIP features, we're making strides in creating the ultimate communication tool for rally and overlanding enthusiasts. Join the journey!
We’re kicking things off with some modest but exciting numbers to share:
While 5 might seem like a small number, it represents the first steps of something bigger. Every startup begins here, and these are the people who will help shape KONVOY into something truly valuable. We’re looking forward to experimenting with other outreach methods, like attending local car meetups or overlanding events, to grow this list in the coming weeks.
This past week was all about setting the foundation, which is often unglamorous but absolutely essential for the success of any app. Here’s what we accomplished:
These might sound like small wins, but collectively they create the scaffolding for everything else that follows. Now that these foundational tasks are complete, we’re ready to dive into more exciting functionality.
We’re currently in the middle of a VOIP proof of concept (POC), which is a major piece of functionality for KONVOY. This will allow drivers to stay connected while on the road, creating a seamless way to communicate in real-time during rallies or overlanding trips.
Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far:
Next steps include:
This feature is a cornerstone of KONVOY, and we’re putting in the effort to get it right. Once this POC is complete, we’ll be in a great position to start integrating VOIP into the broader app experience.
This week has been a mix of excitement and productivity. Over the weekend, I found myself in a solid groove. Saturday was a full day of heads-down development, and on Sunday, I made my way to Starbucks to change up the scenery. There’s something about being in a bustling café that helps me focus—it’s like tapping into the collective energy of everyone around me.
Side projects like this are always a balancing act. With a full-time job during the week, most of the work for KONVOY happens in the evenings or on weekends. It’s not always easy to find the time or the energy, but the progress we’ve made so far is incredibly motivating. Seeing the app come to life, even in its earliest stages, is a reminder of why we’re doing this: to create something that will genuinely enhance the driving experience for rally and overlanding enthusiasts.
Moments like this also underscore how important it is to celebrate small wins. Every piece of progress, no matter how minor it might seem, is a step closer to bringing KONVOY to life. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, but the journey so far has been deeply rewarding.
If you’re a car enthusiast, rally driver, or overlanding adventurer, KONVOY is designed with you in mind. We’re building a better way to stay connected while traveling together—whether it’s coordinating pit stops, chatting on the go, or sharing the excitement of the journey.
Be among the first to experience KONVOY by joining the waitlist. Not only will you get early access, but you’ll also have a chance to shape the future of the app through your feedback. Let’s build something amazing together!
