Moonai – Period Pain Relief - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

As the founder/CEO, no, I did not. I had some basic training through university, and then during quarantine, I've followed certifications from IBM but to get an overview and foundations.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

At first, without a co-founder with technical skills, it was to communicate a clear idea and follow a roadmap with the devs, which were initially an external agency. It was for sure the most challenging.

Then, it was to keep focus on priorities on our roadmap matching our user research, and not getting distracted by "nice to have" elements.
