I Have been reading this book and almost completed it. I can say this is a great book and help us focus on right area.
I am been working on a consumer facing product(Social Polling app) and we recently had a initial launch of our mobile android app. When we started on this product we thought of giving out many features at once. But after reading your book the thoughts have become more clearer on how to approach this problem.
We started referencing my thoughts with the product related to the core idea. I found voting on questions is a general behaviour of people, when they are provided with some set of options. But creating a Poll and asking a question was not a general behaviour. this has to have some sort of external trigger to make this happen. So We can leverage voting habit and gradually have external triggers so that user starts taking his own polls and asking opinions. Do you this we are moving in right direction?
My guess is that it's not the trigger that's the problem, it's the fact that creating a poll is very hard to do - especially in comparison to just voting. I would find ways to reduce the effort and "cognitive load" of doing the behavior.
Thanks. and yes that is a good point that you make "especially in comparison to just voting it is hard." and the solution for it. I will take this advice and work on it.
Thanks, that actually means a lot! We’ve been heads-down trying to build for this new platform through the highs & lows, and it give us devs a lot of moral support to know that people on the outside are excited about what we’re trying to build too!
Yeah, I have been waiting to try this awesome product from a while, also working on a new project on android and don't want to add sqlite in that so have delayed adding persistent data right now till i can get hands on realm :)
