pendler-app

Supplementary assets for Pendler: Danish Transit, the iOS app.

This is the public companion repo to the private baixianger/Pendler source repository. Everything in here is about shipping the app — metadata, release notes, the product website, screenshots, and the privacy policy — not about the iOS code itself.

The website

Served from GitHub Pages at https://baixianger.github.io/pendler-app/.

Three pages, each a plain static HTML file with inline CSS/JS (no build step, no framework):

Page	URL	Purpose
Home	/	Product pitch, features, screenshot carousel, Discord link
Release notes	/releases.html	What's new in each version, tri-lingual tabs
Privacy	/privacy.html	Privacy policy (required by App Store)

To preview locally, any HTTP static server works:

cd pendler-app
python3 -m http.server 8000
# then open http://localhost:8000

Adding a new release

When a new version of Pendler ships:

1. Write the markdown archive — copy releases/1.0.1.md to releases/X.Y.Z.md and fill in:
   • Metadata table (version, build, commit hashes)
   • Summary (user-facing changes, internal changes, known issues)
   • App Store Connect "What's New" text in three languages
2. Add a card to releases.html — copy the existing <article class="release"> block and update:
   • Version / build / release date in the header
   • Three <div class="lang-content"> panels with the new release notes The tab-switching script works automatically for any number of release cards.
3. Update the "release notice" pill on index.html — point to the new version in the header text. The pill already links to releases.html so the URL doesn't change.
4. Commit and push — GitHub Pages will rebuild within a minute.

cd pendler-app
git add releases/X.Y.Z.md releases.html index.html
git commit -m "docs: add X.Y.Z release notes"
git push

App Store Connect copy

appstore-metadata.md is the canonical source for the text that goes into App Store Connect:

• Name, subtitle, promotional text, keywords, description
• Three languages: Danish (da, primary), English (en-US), Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans)

The marketing description (the paragraphs) lives in appstore-metadata.md. The per-version release notes (the "What's New" bullets) live in releases/X.Y.Z.md. These two are intentionally separated — description changes rarely, release notes change every release.

Screenshot generator

screenshot-generator/ is a Next.js app used to render the hero / feature screenshots at the exact pixel sizes App Store Connect requires (1290×2796 for iPhone 15 Pro Max, 1320×2868 for iPhone 16 Pro Max, etc.). See its own README for how to run it.
