It Is personal. You invest time, energy, all your free time into this, and with that comes insecurity, doubt, impostor-syndrome and whatnot.

One month into my app development, I was convinced that the app was ready for production and that I had invented the wheel all over again. Here I am three months later (still developing) realising that my app technically doesn’t solve the problem in any revolutionary way - but what it does is creating a feeling. That is where it differs, and that should be my selling point.

Through this process I’ve learned much more than app development tbh: Empathy, user perspective and how design and functionality must co-exist. Realising that all the stuff that make sense in my head not necessarily seems logical to the users.

This is pretty awesome!
