So the next thing you want to do is figure out if if your idea if it's been there done that if someone has already tried your idea in the past? If they did, did they succeed? If not what happened? I mean, you need to know because maybe you're making the wrong thing. Maybe you shouldn't be building this. Because if it didn't work in the past, then why are you gonna do it differently?
But maybe they did something wrong. And maybe you can do it better. competitors, you want to see who's out there? And if so, how are they doing? So a good way to do this is why I wrote research times three, you want to research research research? What is so compelling about the product?
You know, for example, Snapchat, why do people like it so much? It's just a photo video sharing app. But what what are the users engaging on the platform? What's it like with user engagement? And why do people like that, that UI UX who are the founders who invested in it, you know, you can do a simple search on TechCrunch for Say dog walking app. Say you want to build a dog walking app and you look up the ones that are already out there you can see this one rover built, they raised $40 million.
Okay, you can see who the investors are. Maybe you're building an app that helps pet sitters, order snacks on the go. And it's a delivery service. Well, maybe this company says here that they are going to be using the money for acquisitions. Well, maybe that you're one of the acquisitions, you're building an app specifically for this market. So you want to know these things.
You want to know who's who and what they're doing, and did they already build this app? You know, and by researching these other apps out there, you'll be much more clear as to whether or not your idea is worth it. If your core value proposition is worth it, you know how the day might monetize, maybe you can monetize the same way. And the UI UX design is very important. Its user interface. User Experience is what it stands for.
And that's basically the navigation of the app, the buttons, the icons, the style, the colors. There's a great website I use called patterns, PTT, RNs comm where you can find the UI, and UX for anything, you know, messaging. This is all the different types of messaging, you'll find tab bars. Let's see calendars and time. browser, bots and conversations, activity feeds. You can click on one of these and they'll take you even further in.
So I mean, this is a great way to look at UI UX throughout all sorts of different apps, to kind of inspire you to help you learn how to make a better UI UX that is proven to work. Worked
