Roost

Hey there, I’m Josh and I’m working with my friend Jared on Roost. I’m a developer and Jared is a designer who codes. Roost is a private by design, offline-first, and ultimately open-source iOS and macOS app that makes it easy for people to get things done and manage life with the people they care about. Roosts are essentially chat rooms organized around topics with todo lists. Our vision is for Roost to have the security and privacy benefits of Signal via end-to-end encryption with the interface design and user experience of Things. We’ve already built a data and application layer in Go that provides an API for sending a message, creating a todo item, and all of the other functions needed to support the app. We also have high fidelity designs for the app in Figma that illustrate the concept and flows with some of the finer details still TBD. We’re looking for someone to join us on a contract-basis and not only take the designs and implement them in Swift using the data model we’ve built but also set up a strong foundation for future developers to build on in an open source community. We have a full job posting over at https://getroost.app/careers and if this sounds interesting or want to chat about any of it, send me a line over at hello@getroost.app. Thanks!
