I can’t explain it. Just their honest thoughts and their naive usage of my app gave me valuable data to improve it further. I definitely plan to implement the improvements in my app, but what I have never experienced before is the gratification from seeing a user on my app, enjoying it, providing feedback or commentary, and then myself experiencing happiness from it. It makes me feel like I’m doing the right thing and going in the right direction. That even though development may take months or more, this goal is achievable, and with the help of users it may be the best piece of software I’ve ever created!

A bit of background, I’m a career software developer who is making his first app outside of a 9-5.

I just wanted to express this in this community.
