A little more about Skiwise...
If you'd like to know how I solved the technical complexity of building an iOS, android and web app as a solo developer in 2020 - read this post I wrote:
The 9 Month Solo Development Journey of Skiwise
Skiwise is an app I’ve been developing with the goal of connecting cross country skiers with a network of their peers to share knowledge around trail conditions, social events, weather changes, and more. Originally beginning in November 2019, I’ve been working on this project for almost 700 hours

Duluth Tribune interviewed me and wrote an article about my app:
App developed by UMD student offers instant XC ski reports
Avid nordic skier Spencer Pauly Skiwise app provides up-to-the-minute trail reports, if there’s snow.
John Myers
And one ski club I worked closely with had some kind words to share about their experience sharing trail updates through Skiwise:
"A long time coming. Finally grooming report technology has caught up to the 21st Century. Thanks to Spencer, a student at the University of Minnesota Duluth who has created Skiwise, we now have a way to reach all our local skiers as well as those from afar with up to the minute grooming reports".
