What is the experience of developing an app independently?

(This article is an answer I wrote on the understanding: what is the experience of developing an App independently?) ）

UWP amateur developers say they are willing to make a clear stream. In the noisy iOS and Android platform, in order to give momentum to the application, too many people put their brains and intrigue, and this side, Win10 App Store desolate, like a Xanadu (escape). But Win10 the number of users, you dare not say much? So UWP development is still a promising prospect.

As for the feeling, I have been bundled with the development of WIN10 since I entered the UWP. When WIN10 launched a conscience function and sucked a wave of users, I will be happy, but watching Win10 mobile market share is getting lower, I will intestines sad. Developing applications independently is like having children, and the rise and fall of WIN10 controls the child's fate.

As for everyday, I like to log on to the store backstage, look at the download, installation volume data, see if there is any new user donation, look at the crash information, in Chinese or English to reply to the comments of users in the country. There are a lot of very sincere and touching comments, look at the review as if in the harvest sunshine, it is like listening to the children's teachers on the evaluation of the children's qualifications:

(The comments above represent only the comments of the reviewers, and there are a number of users who are not so polite to comment.) These pictures are not the same day cut, so the style is a bit confusing, forgive me)

I promised some updates in the comments below, as a result of time, some pits have not been filled in now (escape

Occasionally also receive the user to send the mail, tie heart the old iron:

Of course, there are some strange comments, such as the Indian elder brother, you come to my comment area practice ...

This application was developed at the time of the official release of Win10 10240 on July 31, 2015. For two years, I watched the child grow. From the summer of 2015 to no-one, to today in the global market in more than 100 countries and regions have installed this application, the middle of countless updates. The best thing to do now is to look at the kids ' installation in the global market. An overview of the world's markets gives me an illusion of the fall of the European continent (escaping

Sometimes, I also use the user volume to do some interesting things. One day a sudden epiphany, because this application is a scientific calculator, why not count the user in daily use, 0-9 of the input frequency is what? Which operator is used the most? The API provided by the store can do this, when I counted one months to get the following data:

Finally found that 0 deserved to be hit the most number keys, and multiplication sign is the most used operator.

In addition, with the spirit of self-enjoyment, in my lack of clothes to wear, will also make a perimeter:

Do your own application is the case, from the product, UI to programming, to public relations and customer support, and so on, you have to do it alone. Although a person can do the work is limited, but the result is his own children undoubtedly (next door Lao Wang?) Non-existent). Although the child is only a tool-based application, and there are many areas need to improve, but it can thrive, inseparable from the father, but also inseparable from the support of everyone.

I love my children.
