Here is how I am going about building my next app

1. Articulate and plan your idea better. Put everything on paper. 2. Take an empty lean canvas template from Google and fill it up. This will help you plan your apps business model in a structured way 3. Identify the target users who might find your app useful (and perhaps pay for using it). It is also called Ideal Customer Profile (ICP for short) 4. Find out where your ICP hangs out and gets their information from. Connect with some of those users. Talk to them (one on one calls, surveys etc) 5. If you find the responses encouraging, create a landing page with a sign up form and start promoting the landing page. This will help you gauge the interest in your idea. 6. Identify the technical aspects of your apps (user roles, features, screens, Project Requirement Document etc). This usually takes development experience but I will tell you how to do it for free at the end. 7. Determine whether you want to build it yourself(no code, AI editors etc, depending on your programming experience) or hire somebody to build it for you (agencies, freelancers, Upwork, fiver etc) 8. Use a project management system to manage the work being done by the developers 9. Take it forward from there. I am using these techniques to build my free app that helps app founders plan their apps better (Steps 1, 2, 6, and 8 above). You can sign up for the waitlist at HitMVP.com (I am at #5 now )
