Behind the Scenes: Building Griply

The development journey began with a clear vision and a dedicated team willing to bootstrap from scratch. The web and desktop applications were crafted with React, leveraging modern tools like Vite and TypeScript for a robust, responsive experience. To support offline functionality and real-time updates, Firebase’s Firestore was integrated as the backend, with Cloud Functions handling specialized processes.

One of the most technically challenging aspects involved setting up recurring habit reminders. Using RRuleJS, the system calculates upcoming due dates in UTC. Synchronizing these reminders across users in varying time zones introduced a complex triple-timezone puzzle, which has been addressed with careful planning—though streamlining everything to UTC remains on the roadmap.
