UPDATES
A simple place to see what changed, when it was released, and screenshot proof when there is something worth showing.
May 11
Updated the lesson selection UI to make it cleaner, smoother, and easier to navigate. I also implemented Chapter 5 into the app and began working on Chapter 6, continuing to expand Squawk's training content and overall lesson flow.
May 5
Implemented Chapter 4 into the app and began working on Chapter 5. I also updated the chapter selection UI to make the screen feel more polished, modern, and easier to navigate as users move through Squawk's training chapters.
May 2
Finished creating the audio for Chapter 4 and prepared the proper grading algorithm data needed for implementation. This helped move Chapter 4 closer to being fully playable inside the app, with both realistic audio content and structured grading logic ready to be connected to the levels.
March 26
Began development on Chapter 4 and started improving the overall user experience across the app. I also worked on creating a better settings menu, refining the home screen flow, and starting the implementation of streaks to make daily training feel more motivating and connected.
March 19
Implemented bug fixes across the app and continued improving the grading algorithm. These updates helped make Squawk's response checking more accurate, stable, and realistic when evaluating user answers and transcripts.
March 14
Finished implementing the audio and lesson data for Chapters 1 through 3 inside the app. After getting the content into place, I started reviewing the chapters for bugs, issues, and small fixes to make sure the lessons worked properly and gave users a smoother learning experience.
March 9
Finished creating the audio for Chapters 1 through 3 and started implementing both the lesson data and audio into the app. I also worked on improving the user experience when moving through lesson sections, making the flow feel smoother, clearer, and easier to follow.
March 4
Worked on creating better and more accurate audio for Squawk, with a stronger focus on making it sound more realistic and more aligned with FAA standards. The goal of these updates was to improve both the quality of the audio and the accuracy of the communication being presented inside the app.
February 28
Made major improvements to the way Squawk grades user transcripts inside the levels. These updates made audio grading feel much more human, realistic, and accurate, allowing the app to evaluate user responses in a way that better reflects how real communication should be understood.
February 21
Finished creating major improvements to the lesson and level selection screens, making them more polished, easier to navigate, and better connected to the rest of the app. These updates helped strengthen the overall lesson flow and made Squawk's training structure feel clearer and more complete.
February 18
Made major improvements to the home screen and finished creating all teaching and level data for Chapters 1 through 3. I also started building the core level framework so levels would function better, while improving the level UI and refining both the lesson and level selection screens to create a cleaner and more polished experience.
February 12
Worked on the backend system that saves a user's place while moving through levels, so if they leave in the middle of a section, they can return later and continue from where they stopped. I also started improving the UI for the home screen and chapter selection screen to make the app feel smoother and more polished.
February 7
Updated the teach screen section and continued improving other parts of the app, including the level selection flow. These changes helped create a smoother, more connected experience throughout Squawk, making navigation and lesson progression feel more clear and organized.
February 5
Created a mock UI for Squawk's teaching section and began building out the content behind it. I also completed the teaching data for Chapters 1 and 2 and started working on the lesson levels inside each chapter, helping turn the app's learning system into a more complete structure.
February 1
Created a prototype for Squawk's lesson selection screen and began building the lesson data needed to support it. I also planned the lessons in greater detail, defining what each lesson would include and how the content would be structured inside the app.
January 27
Created a profile system that allows users to log in on any device and keep their information saved across sessions. Also built a working email sign-up and login system with protected passwords, marking an important step toward making Squawk a real user-based app.
January 25
Worked on both the mockup and the working prototype for Squawk's chapter selection screen, continuing to shape how users would move through lessons and chapters. I also implemented more features, made progress on the settings screen, and began working toward adding login and sign-up functionality to the app.
January 22
Began working on the code for Squawk and started shaping the app's first real structure. Created an early home page mockup that outlined the main layout and showed where core sections like lessons, progress, and settings would live. This version also introduced the first bottom navigation system, helping define how users would move through the app.
January 20
Started building the foundation for Squawk by working on early mockups, defining the end goal, and planning out how the app should function. I also began creating the full study structure, including the guide, lesson flow, and overall outline for the app.
January 9
Started planning, brainstorming, and shaping the initial idea for Squawk. This marked the beginning of the project, where the core concept, purpose, and overall direction of the app first started coming together.
