Slopiq: a digital companion on the slope
Slopiq is a pet project I built for myself to play with SwiftUI and ship a native iOS app for winter sports. The goal — go from idea to a running build I can launch on my own iPhone on the slope in one week.
The class of problem
Existing trackers are either UI-heavy (gloves + frost don’t mix with small buttons), or limited to raw speed numbers, or ignore the weather at a specific altitude.
What’s inside
- UI built for gloves and cold. Large controls, high contrast, minimal gestures.
- Automatic run/lift split. No manual mode switching.
- AI assistant. Wax recommendation for current weather, daily summary, safety notes.
- Hyperlocal weather. Open-Meteo by coordinates and altitude.
Stack
SwiftUI, CoreLocation, Open-Meteo API, OpenAI / YandexGPT.
What this case shows about me
I’m not tied to a single stack. Native iOS — SwiftUI. Web — Next.js. Automation — Python. I pick the stack for the problem, not for personal comfort.
