Building a custom system from scratch is what we did for examination at the university. Although there already where options, some even free and open source, none was user friendly and fit for how the professors worked. We made a small and simple system in steps and it became popular. Release often, seek feedback from real users and no features that you can't prove are used. Kill your darling ideas. blog.crisp.se/2016/03/16/perlundho...
