Do Anything You Want To Do.
I don’t suppose most digital natives or Gen Zs will think ‘Thin Lizzy’ when they hear the words ‘do anything you want to do’.
What was once the domain of the genuine tech wizard is now commonplace.
On the one hand that’s amazing. On the other it brings with it the temptation to stuff your app full of all sorts of functionality that won’t necessarily add value.
Just because you can do it, doesn’t always mean you should.
From the app developer’s perspective, it’s also raised expectations – both with the client looking to build the next ground-breaking solution and the user who, to whom these bells and whistles have become standard in some of the apps they use on a daily basis.
For the enlightened app developer, the saving on ‘technical’ time should be invested into a better understanding of the improvements in both process and user experience.
In turn, this should lead to a more judicious selection from the ever-expanding box of tricks that’s available.
It’s also worth pointing out that some knowledge and understanding of how things were done ‘back in the day’ can be incredibly useful when what should be a straightforward integration (there’s an API for that!) gets derailed and requires a bit of under-the-bonnet know-how to resolve.
The key for any successful app is the improvement it makes to the lives of its users – and that it definitely doesn’t tie them up in knots.
When did you last have the patience to use an app with a lengthy instruction manual?.

Top Five Things To Think About Before You Build An App
Like most app developers, we’ve had our fair share of people through the doors with the next big idea for an app that’s going to change the world. Sadly, most won’t, although that’s often down to the other aspects of the business or processes that haven’t been sufficiently thought through.
What Happens Next.
You have a vision. You’re going to build an app that will change the world. (Or at least, make a difference for the people who are fortunate enough to use it.). A wise man once said, ‘vision without action is hallucination. You could google app developers, get in touch with a few and ask
