How I built Seat Maker as a high school student

Architecture, tools, and the habits that helped me ship.

Tech stack

I built Seat Maker in Swift/SwiftUI with a focus on responsive interactions and simple data models. Persisted state is compact and easy to migrate.

Design principles

Thumb - friendly controls, clear empty states, and forgiving undo/redo. Performance budgets keep scrolling and gestures smooth.

Operations

Weekly user interviews, lightweight analytics, and rapid TestFlight cycles. Each release has a clearly stated goal and a rollback plan.
