My App Development Process

[sgOnSoftware]

Hey everyone, thanks for reading my progress journal.

TLDR: I am documenting my process of building an iOS app, and I'll be posting daily on my progress.


I have previously made the common mistake of valuing events over process. This has led to stagnation. So now I've changed my focus to be on the journey and progress over 'milestones'.

I will be working on an iOS app which solves the problems of the annoyance of calorie counting. Essentially it will exist to enable people to reach their fitness/health goals without having to deal with daily input of calories.

I will be launching the app of May 1st. Although that's a bit of a close launch date it is good as it forces me to value each day.

As it'll be a minimum viable product, it won't be full fledged with all the features I want. Also the code will need to be refactored with later versions of the app.

My plan to make money from the app is to have a freemium model. Where most users are using it for free and spreading the word. And some users who are a bit 'OCD' can pay $9.99 a month to have more control and use the app to get their macronutrients and micronutrients daily with recommendations for high quality supplements.

Today I only have a couple hours as I have other class projects to do. But during those two hours, I will be using Xcode to build the basic UI and corresponding visual objects and connecting them with the view controller code files.

Thanks again for checking my progress out and look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
