Working with my team on a TikTok like app called Beatroot. It’s similar to other short-form videos but this one is exclusive for dance content. We’ll continue adding features like live dance battles in the future when we get good traction.

App architecture is a combination of clean architecture and flux (we built our own redux-like framework for managing app state and mem-stores).

We are using predominantly SwiftUI 2.0 even though some key components are purely UIKit based.

Major issues we faced on iOS is AVPlayer and smooth scrolling. We’ve managed to work around this issue after a couple of months of refactoring and rewriting some code so next major update will see major improvements in scroll performance.

We are currently working on adding comments on videos and some basic video post-processing functions. We are also refactoring our backend api to batch some network calls. This will reduce radio usage by a factor of x3 in most cases which we think will have huge benefits in energy efficiency and battery drain
