A Real App
by Damon BauerI successfully scratched my own itch. Surely other people would use this?
I started investigating how to build a Mac menubar app. I'm primarily a front end developer, so I immediately reached for Electron + React to start hacking this thing out. Along the way, I sent a feedback survey out to my LinkedIn network & got about 50 responses. This was helpful to validate my idea and prove to me that at least a few people would be interested.
I wrote most of the functionality of the first version of the app within 2 months, off and on.
