Clash Royale Inbox

At the end of 2016 I was tasked with coding the front-end for what was to the MVP version of a in-game news channel for the massivly succesful mobile game, Clash Royale. The "Inbox" was a place for users to get the latest news, upcoming events and community content without having to leave the game. The project launched after just three weeks and turned into a two year product engagement, expanding into all Supercell's titles. Over the course of the project, we adapted an agile approach that enabled us to develop several new features, expand browser/device support, chase down bugs and scale our team based on needs.

Notable features:

• Support for 19 different languages.
• Liking and Voting with JWT backed API.
• Rich carousel supports images, videos, polls and timed events.
• User based targeting for tailored content.
• Feature flags combined with user targeting allow us to roll out updates across the player base as well as A/B testing.
• Offline "Maintenance" mode allows the inbox to be shown to users when the game client is undergoing updates.
• Modular build system allows devs to standardize core features across projects while being flexible enough for custom use cases.
• Devs can proxy build environments to test features against production content without having to push to the actual environment.

Built with Preact, Babel, RollupJS, Sass, PostCSS
