Enable WCSession to synchronize feeding logs between iPhone and Apple Watch in real time.

Implement WCSession sync

Ensure the Watch app continues running timers accurately when in background mode.

Background task handling

Reduce data transfer payloads to make syncing faster and more efficient between iPhone and Watch.

Optimize sync payload size

Stream feeding session progress to the Watch in real time, keeping it in sync with the iPhone.

Implement live session updates

Configure release build settings to package the Watch app for production deployment.

Release build config for Watch app

Design the data schema for synchronizing feeding logs across devices, ensuring consistency and forward compatibility.

Define sync schema

Store feeding logs locally in IndexedDB so the app can work offline and sync changes later.

Implement IndexedDB storage

Handle conflicts when multiple devices edit the same feed entry, resolving with the most accurate data.

Conflict resolution logic

Build a migration manager to handle schema updates without losing existing feeding log data.

Implement migration manager

Allow creation of local backup snapshots of feeding logs for recovery if sync fails.

Local backups support

Prototype direct peer-to-peer syncing of feeding logs for households without cloud connectivity.

Peer-to-peer sync prototype

Encrypt all feeding logs before syncing or storing them to protect sensitive baby health data.

Encryption for synced data

Enable multiple parent devices to log feeds for the same baby without overwriting each other’s data.

Support multiple child devices

Retry failed sync operations automatically to avoid losing feeding log updates.

Automated sync retries

Prepare integration for syncing feeding logs with cloud services as a fallback option.

Cloud integration setup

Set up deployment pipeline to host the Feeding Timer website on Digital Ocean servers.

Deploy to Digital Ocean

Configure nginx to serve the static site, handle routing, and manage load balancing.

Setup nginx reverse proxy

Enable HTTPS by setting up Certbot SSL certificates for secure connections.

Configure SSL certbot

Tune Next.js build settings for a fully static export that requires no backend server.

Optimize build for static export

Verify that syncing feeding logs across devices works reliably by testing end-to-end scenarios.

Integration tests for sync

Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliability on every commit.

Automated test suite CI

Simulate push notifications to ensure reminders are scheduled and displayed properly.

Mock push notification tests

Run full-stack sync tests to confirm logs update seamlessly between iPhone and Watch.

End-to-end sync tests

Automate QA checks for release candidates to streamline deployment readiness.

Automated release QA

Test how the app recovers gracefully from crashes and preserves feeding data.

Crash recovery scenarios

Scan for vulnerabilities to ensure Feeding Timer protects sensitive baby and parent data.
