We built an app in 2 weeks and now we've just started to test it. I'm writing this to try to share the learnings we had. this was built with a team of 2 full time people and 2 interns.
The app is released and we wanted to test a few things.
- How do people using Sina Weibo (Twitter equivalent in China) share/view photos?
- Can we learn what happens in short iterative cycles?
As such, we restricted the app to only people who are in certain regions, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore this is deliberate as we are targeting the China market in this test.
I have a blog post about what we are trying to do. Feel free to comment about the process, the method we are using or even the app.
How to build an app to test the China market in 2 weeks - Stepcase
At this point, its not about the number of app downloads, its all about learning how the app is used, or not used.
