For the past month or two, I’ve been tossing around this idea of creating my first app – and ever since my discovery of Visual Studio Community, the desire to create my own app has doubled. Strange, considering I’m not an avid app user. I do have social media apps like Pinterest and Tumblr on my phone; I’ve downloaded things like Piano Composer and various collage maker apps, only to play around with them once and then delete them. I don’t know if apps just don’t hold my attention or if I just haven’t found ones that are useful to me. The only apps I use regularly are Google Maps and my weather app – very practical. I guess it makes sense, then, that the app I want to create is a practical one. I want an app that will help me keep track of my tasks, whether it’s homework, cleaning, or grocery shopping.
And I know there are dozens like that already out there, but you look at any one of them and they’re so…blah (and kind of a pain to use).
