Hi. I have a project whereby there will be a desktop web app version and a mobile app version.
Both will be accessing the same database.
In short, should I start designing with the mobile version or the web app (PWA) version first?
I will assume that the web app version will be showing more details. And pretty much a different interface.
I think thatâs a personal question based on go to market and how your users will primarily use your app.
For most of the apps Iâve developed, we build mobile first and then a very lite desktop version for admin purposes. We work with a lot of B2Câs, so they must have mobile first, then use desktop for their admin purposes. After mobile is complete, we build the desktop consumer version.
Thanks guys for your inputs!
I was thinking of using existing templates from Adalo for a web app first but it seems that all of them are mobile based instead. So maybe I will start with mobile first as there are more existing resources for it.
Talking about validating with real users⌠How do you do that without publishing a sub-par version to âtest the marketâ? Which spoils the experience in the first place.
Identify power users / beta testers - theyâll be more understanding about bugs and beta testing makes it easier to collect and collate feedback
