Hi all,
I'm looking to create an app, and currently am talking to my target audience in several facebook groups and a couple forums.
Features are being suggested. Complaints are being made about other products. Insights given on what people's lives are like, and how they currently solve their problem.
Sometimes people warn me that my effort is pointless, because they have never found any app to be useful enough to keep using.
I made a questionnaire on Typeform where I ask people to mark the features that would be useful to them. I plan to add the ideas that others suggested to that questionnaire, so the features I hadn't thought of can be voted on by strangers. So far only 1 person has answered my questionnaire (out of 7 who clicked the link), so I need to spread it around a lot more.
How do I organise all this information? MJ says he kept in a little black book. But that seems impractical to me. There's so many kinds: feature requests, complaints about competitors, general complaints about life that give insight in the problem, tips and workarounds, warnings, ...
So far I've been pasting people's messages into a OneNote page, but that's quickly becoming a big mess of text. Not easy to spot commonalities and pattern echoes that way.
I'd appreciate any tips you guys have about medium (apps? physical notebook?) and categorization and ways of indexing that you use for this.
Or am I overthinking it, and should I just write it all down and then go with my gut?
