v1 released: my do's and don'ts for the next

Hi there, I am Preeda. 🖐️ Currently working for phoneFit. Recently, the first version has been released on iOS! (Android soon).

It is my second app I built for mobile platforms. And even though I have had got some lessons from building the first one, I still repeated some of the mistakes again.

So, next release just have to be better! 💪

My list of do's and don'ts, as to remind myself, is here as follows.

🚩 Mistakes repeated:

• still spent way too much time (than it should have been) on UI refinements and some performance optimization
• hesitated on pressing the release button

☀️ Good thing done:

• did not wait for a big launch / promotion. Just eventually simply launched it.

✅ Do's:

• maintain, even improve, the development cycle speed
• write more, blog more (still very few now)

✖️ Don'ts:

• don't spend too much time on refinements thing. Will try to improve the design specs, establish a standard

Feel like too much attention to details can be bad. It is time consuming. Definitely working on this aspect! 😆
