QSP Apps

Building high Quality Simple Productivity(QSP) apps for mobile and desktops.

Guiding Principles

Product should be simple, easy to use and reliable.

  1. Your product should help improve the quality of life for the user. Make the world a better place.
  2. Simplicity. App should be simple to use. Code used for building app should be simple.
  3. Iterate. Build a minimal MVP and then iterate each time adding more and more features.
  4. Listen to user feedback. This could be comments in the App store. Use it to improve the product.
  5. Respect privacy. User owns their data. If possible, make the app for offline use and provide ways to backup easily using the choice of cloud storage.
  6. Data outlives code. Publish your data storage format so that it is easy for users to move to a different app. Users should have a way out if your app is no longer supported or user has found better alternatives.
  7. Use as less code as possible. Lesser code means easier maintenance. However, this should not compromise on functionality. Using less code also requires expertise.
  8. Use the right SDK/language/tool for the purpose. Every SDK/language/tool has its own strengths and ways of building. Understand and exploit them fully.
  9. Automate as much as possible. Initially this takes time but gives great rewards in the long run. This includes building CI pipeline and having sufficient tests.
  10. Add good number of tests to test the functionality of the app. This ensures that we don't break anything and gives confidence in our product.
  11. Refactor. As you add features, keep refactoring code so that code remains simple and easy to use.
  12. Get your code reviewed. Others might provide insights to improve your code that you might not be able to see.
  13. Measure and improve. Make data based informed decisions.
