My Toddler Loves Planes, So I Built Her A Radar
Jacob Bartlett
This is a tale of inspiration, of a vision taking shape, and of rapid feedback from that most discerning of customers: a 2-year-old girl. After a recent holiday kindled his toddler's love of airplanes, she kept asking Jacob to help her spot planes in the sky, becoming delighted each time they find one. As an iOS developer, he wouldn't know where to start building his daughter a rocking horse, but nothing was going to stand in his way of making her a cool app. Follow along as Jacob takes this concept from inspiration to App Store, with some very cute user testing along the way.
