Beta 3 is Done!

Beta 3 is Done!

It was an eye-opening and tough phase. Put us a week behind our timeline. That's, however, not a big deal compared to that we are not really optimistic that the current state of the world let us hold our full-scale beta test by the end of Beta 5 phase. Love vs. Logic It's really ironic that as much as we love to get our app out, we may unconsciously procrastinate because of this novel coronavirus pandemic. Deep down, we know it's really not a good or even a regular time to start promoting the app. It's doesn't mean that we're not working hard enough; it means we're a little reluctant to take over the key tasks to get prepared for a public announcement. Somewhat, because most of those key-tasks such…

Beta 2 is Done!

We’re pretty much on track. We’ve just finished compiling and designing the help documentation for the app. Although users must and can use any features of the app without reading on them, we went as far as to create a comprehensive help doc. What else could we’ve done in this COVID-19 situation? I mean, we should have killed time somehow! But on a serious note, It’s going to come handy when users want to find out more about a particular feature in the app or the business logic behind various operations. In the next phase, we are going to enhance the app performance and its stability in the production environment. I don’t have anything else to add on this, so let’s end this post here, making it a brief one.…

The Show Must Go On, Beta 1 is Done!

The Show Must Go On, Beta 1 is Done!

We couldn't continue our preplanned track in 2020 to beta test and release our project due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. It affects all aspects of our lives all around the world. It's is undoubtedly the worst possible timing for our projects to go live publicly. Even testing it in the current situation would be relatively questionable. I already explained it in detail in my last update, have a look if you've missed it: https://www.yaashaar.com/2020/02/29/how-coronavirus-fears-affected-our-app-launch-plan/ This is how it always is The truth is sometimes, no matter how hard you worked on something, or how prepared you are, the situation can get pretty f up. But, you know what? Let's accept it and move on. The bright side We chose to look it from another angle, that is, how lucky…

How Coronavirus Fears Affected Our App Launch Plan

How Coronavirus Fears Affected Our App Launch Plan

Days and nights of hard work, sacrificing a lot of immediate gratifications, not attending lots of friendly gathering, not sharing funny quotes or memes in our social media. All were done to keep us focused on our goal; to get this massive project done. We did it eventually. We made both iOS and Android apps ready to get beta tested. Disclaimer: I deliberately chose not to mention the actual names (the project, the company, countries, etc.) as I signed an NDA. However, we, in the company, decided to disclose the apps's tagline at this point for the purpose of this post. We registered our business entity somewhere that wasn't our home country. We managed to get all certificates and licenses we needed to get officially recognized as a promising international…

Alpha 19, the last Alpha, is done!

Alpha 19, the last Alpha, is done!

Done with the development! I would like to gladly announce that we are officially done with our iOS- and Android-App development. At the end of the next phase, Beta 1, we are going to open our first round of beta testing. More information on how to get your hands on our app before anyone else will be published, respectively, by the end of the next phase. Regarding the last phase: Alpha 19 Product launches require a lot of preparation, technical infrastructure, arrangements, and legal work. A few months ago, we started this preparation. During Alpha 19, we pursued it vigorously, along with carrying out the last batch of developing tasks. That's why I haven't been around for a while. Although we're not fully cooked yet ( I guess no one…
