PROFILE
Jaron Heard
Jaron Heard led the development of the soonlist-turbo repository, delivering a robust event and list management platform across web and mobile. Over 18 months, he engineered features such as public list sharing, onboarding flows, and scalable feeds, while migrating the backend from tRPC and PlanetScale to Convex for improved reliability. Jaron applied TypeScript and React Native to build responsive UIs, integrated analytics with PostHog, and automated code review using GitHub Actions and Claude AI. His work emphasized maintainable architecture, cross-platform consistency, and performance, with careful attention to error handling, data integrity, and developer experience throughout the codebase.

82 Commits • 49 Features
Apr 1, 2026April 2026 focused on onboarding optimization, platform stability, and growth enablement. Delivered major onboarding revamps with a demo-first flow and referral support, redesigned onboarding with real components and updated copy, and stabilized navigation. Implemented backend and data-layer improvements to harden feeds, secure private data, and optimize performance for lists and image loading. Strengthened social features with event savers surfacing and public list detail pages across mobile/web, and established tooling/QA improvements (pre-commit formatting, CI hygiene) to lift code quality and velocity. The work reduced onboarding friction, accelerated time-to-value for new users, and laid a scalable foundation for referral-driven growth and cross‑platform experiences.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 (jaronheard/soonlist-turbo) — Key features delivered include token-auth /share/v1/capture with shareTokens and iOS plan, and substantial iOS share extension improvements (POST handling, progress UI, and Convex config). Reliability and observability were enhanced via ShareViewController image loading improvements and a move to OSLog-based logging with improved error handling and URL validation. Build and release progress included hardcoded URL management, keychain access group configuration updates, and version bumps to 1.2.5 and 1.2.6. Data layer and performance gains encompassed Convex aggregates with backfill, CRUD sync, and getUserStats rewrite, plus batch processing for event and userFeeds aggregates initialization and a parallelized getUserStats pathway to reduce latency. Operational safety included disabling the weekly notifications cron job to prevent unintended runs during transition and stability-focused migrations with planned rollbacks to ensure reliability. Overall impact: faster user statistics calculations, more robust share/workflows, stronger observability, and safer rollout procedures.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 milestones focused on delivering a polished event creation and onboarding experience, strengthened navigation, and a robust cross‑platform integration across SoonList Turbo. Key features include a complete UI/UX overhaul of the New Event modal and its media flow (PhotoGrid, icon imports, and iOS photo permissions), layout stabilization for the event modal, and onboarding/user feed enhancements with improved loading and empty states. NAV improvements added a HeaderLogo and route-aware navigation, while media access and permissions components were introduced to unify media handling. Visual polish for the Capture screen, plus backend-facing reliability work like React Query-based event state management, keyboard/animation performance improvements, and a disk-based cache policy migration. Release housekeeping (version bumps and Expo/config tweaks) was completed to ensure a smooth rollout. Also delivered a revised notification system with improved permissions handling and a new marketing push flow, and bug fixes that reduced noise (Sentry debug off, empty state fixes, and admin secret validation) to improve stability and user experience.
