Mobile App Launch — Updated Timeline & Next Steps
Hi Jordan,
I'm writing with an important update on the Mobile App project timeline.
The backend API integration has turned out to be more technically complex than my initial scoping anticipated — specifically around authentication flows and third-party data syncing. Rather than rush it and risk quality issues at launch, I want to give it the time it needs.
New delivery date: May 15th (moved from April 30th).
I understand this lands close to your May 5th investor meeting, so I want to be clear: the core demo functionality will be stable well before that date. What's shifting is the final polish and the full feature set for launch.
Here's what I'm doing to move this forward efficiently:
— Prioritizing the investor-demo-ready features first
— Daily progress updates starting this week
— Available for a call this week if you'd like to walk through the revised plan
I'm confident in the May 15th date and in the quality of what we're building. Let me know if you'd like to connect.
Best,
Maya
