Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Build reliable data persistence with automatic cloud backup

23% of reviews report catastrophic data loss - this is the #1 trust-killer. Users lose hours of project tracking work, making them abandon the product entirely.

Create stable Apple Watch integration with offline-first architecture

20% want watch functionality but existing solutions crash constantly. Knitters/crocheters need hands-free row counting - this is a killer feature when done right.

Implement comprehensive yarn database with working barcode scanning

Users expect modern inventory management. Build partnerships with major yarn brands or crowd-sourced database. This differentiates from basic counter apps.

Price at $19.99 lifetime or $4.99/year with 30-day money-back guarantee

Lower barrier vs $50 competitor while emphasizing reliability. Users will pay for stability - position as 'the app that actually works' and back it with guarantee.

Build export functionality and Ravelry integration from day one

Users fear vendor lock-in after data loss experiences. Give them ownership of their data and integrate with the ecosystem they already use.
