Overview
A focused note-taking app for church meetings.
FaithfulNotes helps Christians take notes during sermons and small-group meetings.
Paper notes remain common, while many people now bring digital devices to church. General-purpose PDF editors can be difficult to use and do not automatically deliver each week's sermon PDF.
FaithfulNotes retrieves sermon notes from partner churches. Users can import the current week's notes into their account and use linked Scripture references to look up passages in their preferred translation.
What was accomplished
Turn a Figma design into a working mobile product.
The work covered product development, design implementation, backend development, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
Built the serverless API backend
Created the AWS backend with Lambda, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, SES, and EventBridge to support the mobile product and automated content delivery.
Automated sermon-note retrieval
Added the workflow that retrieves sermon notes from partner churches and makes the current week's notes available for import.
Linked Scripture references
Made Scripture references in notes easier to use by linking them to passages in the user's preferred translation.
Provided ongoing technical leadership
Continued as technical lead and maintainer for the mobile app and its AWS backend.
Capabilities now in place
A focused app for capturing, importing, and revisiting notes.
Sermon and small-group notes
Write and review notes in a mobile experience designed for church meetings and personal study.
Partner church reference
Find sermon notes from partner churches and messages a user follows.
Current-week imports
Bring the current week's sermon notes into an account without working through a general PDF editor.
Scripture reference links
Recognize scripture references and make the related passages easier to look up.
Selected screens
A mobile experience shaped around the way people study.
The screens show the main product paths, from sign-in and recent notes to scripture-linked editing, church reference, and account settings.
