The setting
Loving London and Loving New York are companion apps to the printed travel guides. I inherited the codebase from a colleague and, over the years, brought both apps from a dated technical state into one that is modern and sustainable to maintain.
The work was less about new features and more about the long arc most apps actually live in: paying down accumulated cost, swapping foundations one section at a time, keeping the apps shippable throughout. The kind of engagement that doesn’t make headlines but is what mature iOS work mostly is.
