Problem
What was needed?
Scripture apps were either plain readers or context-free chatbots; a calm companion that meets your actual situation and builds a daily rhythm was missing.
Case study
SoulPal
A 10-language Bible reading and AI guidance app that answers what you write with a structured spiritual session.
Platforms
iOS / Android
Role
Product design, Flutter development, Supabase + Edge Function architecture, and the content delivery pipeline.
Tech stack
Flutter · Supabase · OpenAI
Status
Launch-ready
Solution
How was it solved?
What the user writes becomes a structured session — Situation, Teaching, Heart Word, Verse, Prayer, and Step. Verse references in answers are deterministically validated server-side and turned into tappable links; entries are stored locally on device.
Outcomes
What came out of it?
Interface and guided-plan content in 10 languages
License-validated translation pipeline: only cleared texts ship
Local-first journal: entries on device, account optional
Hardened release flow: release gate, secret scan, smoke tests
Build note
Build narrative
Under the hood, multilingual Bible texts are distributed as compressed bundles on Cloudflare R2 rather than in the database, and only license-verified translations reach users. The AI layer sits behind an Edge Function hardened for production: stream repair, model fallback, and verse-reference correction. The app works as a local-first journal even without a connection.
Product experience
Client app and management panel
One tracking system, delivered through two interfaces shaped around each role’s daily workflow.
