MiFamilias Dev Portal
Code → POC → Pilot → Launch

Getting MiFamilias in front of real families

The app is built. This portal is the operating plan for standing up a low-cost proof-of-concept, letting testers click through the UI while the app-store accounts register, and running a controlled family pilot — with a live view of what it costs.

~$30–50
POC backend / month
(AWS, GPU start/stop)
$124
One-time store entry
(Apple $99 + Google $25)
$5K–$150K
Cloud credits available
(offset most cash cost)

Testing layers
Web UI → TestFlight → Pilot

01The plan in one screen

Four moving parts run in parallel. The key insight: UI testing does not wait for app registration or the backend. Testers hit a password-protected web build in a browser on day one, while the slower tracks (Apple/Google accounts, keys, backend) catch up.

Track A · The roadmap

POC → Pilot → Launch

Phased checklist: front-end-first UI testing, demo backend, app-store registration, closed pilot, public launch. The master TODO.

Track B · Where & what it costs

Hosting & Costs

Where to run the POC, why Global Accelerator waits, and the AWS vs. Azure-credits play — with a running cost table.

Track C · Who tests it

Pilot Plan

Whom we pilot to, the "Family Connector" seed strategy, UI-flow test scripts, and feedback capture.

Track D · The stores

Apple & Play registration

Memberships, keys, the permanent bundle-ID brand lock, and the revalidation rules that decide what you must freeze first.

02Live preview & internal docs gated

Because this whole site sits behind Cloudflare Access, it can safely carry the confidential material — the running app build and the full architecture / flow-diagram set — that never goes on a public page.

Web UI build

Open the app

The mobile Ionic/Angular app built for the browser — click through onboarding, family, feed, capsule and Sage flows. UI shell: live data needs the demo backend (Roadmap P3); until then API-backed screens will show empty/error states.

Architecture & flow diagrams

Open the docs

The full internal diagram set — data model, auth, capsules, Transcend/Sage, video pipeline, communities, trust model, monetization, financials, and more (Mermaid, dark theme).

03Status at a glance

Built & ready done

  • Backend + mobile app — submission-ready; tsc/build clean, smoke suites green
  • Native iOS + Android projects — bundle ID com.mifamilias.app
  • AWS CDK (9 stacks) + cheap-demo path — documented
  • Local full stack — Docker + native AI services run end-to-end

Gating the POC to do

  • Lock the brand — display name + permanent bundle ID + logo (do first)
  • Apple + Google developer accounts — $99/yr + $25 one-time
  • Stand up demo backend — core box + on-demand GPU
  • GPU vCPU quota increase — request early, 24–48h lead
  • Apply for cloud credits — Microsoft for Startups / AWS Activate
⚠ Decide before the first build ships

The bundle ID com.mifamilias.app is permanent — APNS and Firebase keys bind to it, and the native projects hard-code it. Changing the display name or logo later costs one review cycle; changing the bundle ID means a brand-new app with no users, ratings, or history to migrate. Lock name + bundle ID + logo before generating signing/push assets. See Apple & Play registration.

04Recommended sequence

Week 1

See the UI move

Deploy the web build to Cloudflare Pages behind Access. Testers click through flows in a browser. Register Apple/Google accounts in parallel.

Week 2–3

Real backend + devices

Stand up the AWS demo box, wire the app to it, push builds to TestFlight / Play internal testing. Seed demo data.

Week 4+

Seed-family pilot

Recruit 2–3 "Family Connector" households. Structured UI feedback, then store review + launch.
