Weekly Update

Date: 2026-05-26 To: Isaac Botkin

Beta Program & Discovery

  • Received sample NDA from T.REX — reviewing and adapting it for RDP before beta release
  • Following up with Lyrinda to get the individual beta tester list — discovery conversations will start as soon as that’s in hand
  • Web crawler exploration for range/church pipeline on hold during build sprint

Last Week

  • Stood up the backend with core features — accounts, drills, scores, events, users, leaderboards, push notifications, and media uploads
  • iOS and Android app shells are taking shape (screenshots further below) — login, scoring, drill favorites, leaderboards, friends, events, range bag, dry fire training, and challenges are in progress on both platforms
  • Admin dashboard has a working drill builder shell (screenshot further below) with permission-based access, search/filters, and scoring configuration
  • Streamlined local development tooling and set up automated build pipelines for server, iOS, and Android
  • Majority of roadmap work items are complete — remaining items are in draft
  • Moved billing and event enrollment to post-MVP to keep the critical path focused

This Week

  • Next round of mobile features: push notifications, content feed, media uploads, achievements
  • Stand up the staging environment and begin work on server monitoring
  • Start on the dashboard event builder and roster builder
  • Begin UX polish on mobile and dashboard — working with placeholder styling until design guidelines arrive from Ryan
  • Set up recurring calls with Isaac and Ryan — especially as staging comes online and UX/UI becomes the focus alongside core feature development
  • Finalize the NDA for beta and continue discovery conversations with testers
