<div><strong>Grateful to post in Christians Tech Jobs—praying your work bears good fruit this week.</strong> 🙏&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>I’ve been building <strong>SoapBox Super App</strong> to help pastors and churches stay connected <em>between Sundays</em>—daily Scripture, prayer, and community touchpoints in one place. You can peek at the web app here: <strong>soapboxsuperapp.com</strong>.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>I chose to <strong>self-fund</strong> rather than take investor money so the mission stays first and isn’t steered toward revenue at the expense of ministry.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>If anyone here feels <strong>led to share wisdom or light hands</strong>—things like hardening the web app, shaping an iOS/Android release, or setting up healthy tests/CI—I’d be grateful to learn from you. No pressure at all; even a few pointers or code-review hours would be a blessing.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Also happy to pray for <em>your</em> projects or swap notes on faith + tech.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Thanks for the opportunity to post here and connect!<br><br>&nbsp;— <strong>Alan</strong> · alan@soapboxsuperapp.com</div>
