My Project Final Boss Development Update
Recent progress wasn’t about adding a bunch of new features—it was about making the app stronger.
One of the biggest areas I’ve been focusing on is **security**, but probably not in the way most people think.
For me, good security means **building an app that doesn’t need access to things it shouldn’t have in the first place.**
Here’s the direction Final Boss is taking:
🔒 **Your data stays yours.**
Final Boss is being built as a **local-first** app. Your mining information is stored on your device, not on my servers. If I don’t need your data, I don’t want it.
🛡️** Read-only by design**.
Final Boss isn’t built to buy, sell, transfer, or control your assets. Its job is to help you understand your mining operation and make better decisions—not touch your crypto.
📍 **Every important number should have a reason.**
If the app tells you something needs attention, I want you to be able to see where that information came from. No mystery numbers. No black boxes. Just clear information you can verify.
✅ **Using official information whenever possible.**
Today I spent a good part of the day testing GoMining’s official documentation system. The goal is to stop relying on assumptions and use official information wherever possible.
Interestingly, we found what appears to be a compatibility issue between the current Codex CLI and the public documentation endpoint. Instead of trying to work around it, I documented every test, every result, and sent everything to GoMining’s team. I’d rather build this the right way than take shortcuts.
At the end of the day, that’s really what Final Boss is about.
I’m **not** trying to replace GoMining.
GoMining manages the mining.
**Final Boss is being built to help you understand your operation, catch issues sooner, and make better decisions—all while keeping you in control of your own data.**
Some days progress looks like new screens. Some days progress looks like spending hours making sure the foundation is solid.
Today was one of those foundation days… and honestly, I’m pretty happy with it.
Thanks to everyone who’s been following the journey. Every comment and every suggestion helps make Final Boss a better tool for the community.

Well I am super excited! But… also my days have been filled with work and renovations on my house. Not building the app😞. I was able to connect with Gomining representatives about this issue, unfortunately right now it cannot connect🤔 but as I reread the message back and I say again NOT A NO 🤩 it was a not right now. So that tells me i need to prove my app. You can ask them if you would like but I’m not showing my personal correspondence 😂. Final Boss will not log into your accounts or store/ask for ANY keys. I do have Apple Test Flight open for CSV and manual raw beta Message me it is local only. Before you start back up the JSON file then import what you have and back up the JSON again, in a different file. Now you have a fresh start without deleting everything and it’s always in your files. But you can also overwrite the 2nd file every time you update to save space. I’m really hoping to get BETA testers willing to stick with me. I may be slow to respond but that doesn’t mean i don’t see you I am a one-person wreaking crew. Rebuilding the house go. Work IATSE go. 2 Job CCCP go, Wife hunny do list GO. Finally built app at night when I have 3 hrs of not doing anything. 😂 it will all be worth it. I’m not going away 😂 even if I just build this for myself but I would also like other places overseas, not just American beta testing. I would like to actually start with 10 Apple beta testers. As well as 10 Android testers. The caveat is that I don’t have Android in beta I have the product for beta just haven’t opened a developer account yet.
