Most software assumes time, attention, and context.
Emergency situations have none of those.
While building MYQER, I had to rethink everything I usually take for granted as a developer.
No onboarding.
No learning curve.
No “come back later”.
It either works instantly or it fails.
That meant focusing on:
• Zero friction access
• Read only emergency views
• Works on any device with a camera
• No dependency on accounts or apps in the moment
• Clear, structured data that can be understood in seconds
The interesting part is that the hardest problem was not technical.
It was deciding what to remove.
Still early, but it is been one of the most different ways I have approached building something.
Would be interested to hear how others approach systems that have to work under pressure, not convenience.
