Starting point

News should fit into a busy day without having to work through another long feed. Nuvicast therefore focuses on short audio briefings you can listen to on the go or alongside other activities.

My contribution

I developed Nuvicast entirely independently – from idea, concept, brand, business model and UX/UI through to the Flutter/Dart app, backend, cloud services, APIs, AI/audio pipeline, infrastructure, store release and operation.

Approach and decisions

  1. Focus on the core use case

    Audio briefings, a clear player and access to sources form the core, instead of an endless newsfeed.

  2. A shared app foundation

    The mobile app is built with Flutter and Dart for iOS and Android.

  3. Consider product and operation together

    The app, backend, audio processing, release and ongoing development were built as a cohesive product.

Implementation and architecture

The app connects a mobile frontend, backend and cloud services, APIs and an AI and audio pipeline.

  1. Flutter/Dart app

    A shared codebase for iOS and Android provides the product interface.

  2. Backend, cloud services and APIs

    Authentication, data, media and notifications are connected through backend and cloud services.

  3. AI and audio pipeline

    News content is processed into short audio briefings and made available to listen to.

  4. Release and infrastructure

    Separate development, staging and production environments, along with app store processes, support release and operation.

Go-live and operation

The free basic version has been released for iOS and Android. The scope includes store release, infrastructure and ongoing product operation. Nuvicast is being actively developed.

Result and status

A released smartphone app.

Relevance to other projects

Nuvicast demonstrates my ability to deliver digital products as a whole, from initial assessment through UX/UI, mobile app and backend to release and operation.
