Challenge, approach, and impact

• Product-Market Fit and Competitive Advantage

  The challenge was to establish a unique value proposition for My Waffle in a market saturated with productivity and data organization apps. Initial hurdles included the absence of comprehensive market research and a clear value proposition. This necessitated validating the product idea and assessing its feasibility.

• Multisource Data Integration

  My Waffle required synchronizing vast amounts of data at the application level, which added complexity to development. Additionally, the app needed to integrate with various external services, demanding a framework capable of accommodating multiple SDKs and future scalability.

• Choosing Between Native vs. Cross-Platform

  Deciding between native and cross-platform app development was critical. Factors considered included the importance of an offline mode, rapid feature development, complex integrations, and business logic. The choice to go cross-platform and the selection of React Native were pivotal decisions.

• Data Security and Privacy Compliance

  Ensuring data security and compliance with privacy regulations was a critical challenge. Users expressed concerns about sharing personal information, requiring robust security measures and clear communication regarding data protection.
