I'm thinking on developing an app for cognitive behavioral therapy for insomniacs. I have a full-time job so I don't have much time. I would like to prove that my idea works without spending a lot of time. My focus will be prototyping, testing and doing UX/Usability tests keep improving the app. What is the easiest way to start? I've found this: http://www.siberiancms.com/ but I'm not sure if that's good. Should I focus on Android because the approval process is easier? I see two main functions in this app, data collection from patients so the psychologist can keep track of his patients and also education for the patients. I might get some help from a freelancer but I want to be part of the architecture process so I can learn too.
First, that sounds like a promising idea for an app.
To give you some idea of my background, I'm a professional programmer and also founded a website that managed the outsourcing process for over 300,000 programmers. Testing and usability tests are great things for a non-technical founder to be doing. However, you really should not be doing the architecture. It would be like if I wanted to run a company to design bridges, and told the engineer that I was going to share architecture duties with him. I just don't have the expertise, and it's not something that can just be picked up in a matter of months.
Here's my advice for you. There must be some reason why you are thinking that you want to be involved in the architecture. I'd recommend examining those reasons, and finding out if there is another way to accomplish your goal. If you want to discuss further, feel free to hit me up, here on Clarity. Good luck with your endeavor.
