Geadex – Water Reminder & Houseplant Care - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

Yes, I have an informatics engineering degree, with a specialization in information system management from “Instituto Tecnológico de San Luis Potosí”.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

The most challenging aspect of GEA was the management of the plants’ time schedules because it is the main function of the app and is extremely attractive for people, I think most of them want to schedule their times the way they want to.

_{Rosillo Labs}

The interviewee, Daniel Rosillo, works as Project Manager in Rosillo Labs, which is an indie software development studio making beautiful apps with high-quality standards for all kinds of people.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

I usually work with development apps like Github, Android-Studio, Insomnia or Jira and I love them, because I work as a developer and I’m constantly developing programs and web servers.

How long have you been working on this app?

I have been working on this for eight months at least. I started with this project because I am Programming all day long and I forget to take care of my flowers constantly.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

Performance and scalability are the principal factors to have in mind when you are developing this kind of apps in my case I have to add a beautiful interface too.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

The way I see it most apps on the store have a bad interface and they aren't easy to use, the users want a clear interface and features that will be easy to learn. GEA is basically an alarm app for plants, if you know how to set an alarm then you know how GEA works.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

In the future versions, I am going to add support for in-app purchases, the possibility of identifying plants and tips for them, and more I want to make a Pokedex of plants!

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

Give yourself a chance to be surprised by what you will discover in GEA.
