Product Pipelines are tricky.

I feel on the one hand, they could have retained both ports and the retina screen.

On the same token, you want to increase the legacy of a market driven product line. Correct me if I'm wrong here but you want to "intentionally" flaw the product to provide room for improvement on the next generation.

I'm sure the Product Dev. team has an idea on their pipeline as to what the 5th generation should look like and what their prospective specs are for the 6th generation product after the 5th is finally locked down for confirmation.


I think you have a good start.

Don't forget to use lots of resources already mentioned: -StackOverflow -Codeacademy -Udemy -Khan Academy

To really ramp up your skills. Build small projects and go from there. This is coming from someone who barely has a coding background but is currently dabbling in Control Overflow in Python. Good luck with everything!


Nice video but doesn't really give me the details of the app unless I use it.

Photo-sharing sure but what makes you guys different from let's say VSCOcam, Instagram, and all the other Social Media sharing photo apps available?

-Even by sharing the highlight menu, you don't need to separate food and drink. You can generalize it as "Must Dine."

Having demo'd the app itself here are a few suggestions:

-Work on the metatags in the app store make it Android available. I had to filter through the first five apps and five different iterations of "Must App" keyword iterations to finally find it on my phone and install it.

The UI is a bit flimsy for me, if you can have the option to have the bottom header pop up static instead of remaining hidden that would be cool.

The photo editing, should have all "Effects, Frames, Overlays" pre-installed. Having need to install even the defaults is sort of a drag.

-After uploading a photo, the preview size and the actual size, should be the same resolution and dimensions. Because it is different it made my editing choices a bit skewed.

Draw option is nice (reminds me of snapchat), but sort of ruins the "photo centric feel" but that's just me.

Overall, I get what you're trying to be but I believe there's a bigger potential in focusing solely on video in a mobile format versus photo. Case in point, Youtube's current UI when browsing on a smart phone.

Hope this helps and good luck. If you wish to have more feedback feel free to reach out.


Co-sign to what everyone said to try the apps.

After you get the feedback, create a small tweak in your iteration of the idea and analyze the potential.

Here I'll throw out an idea I had in a while, keep in mind I barely know how to code or even develop a tech start-up in the first place.

Privatized URL Analytics, yes there's Google and Bit.ly but what I'm saying is take Bit.ly's platform and integrate it with Google Analytics and you'll get one hell of a URL tracker. Sadly, nothing exists (as far as I know of). Would love to help develop and extrapolate the idea but that's as far as I could take it.

If there's such a URL platform, can anyone share what that is, so I may test it? Thanks and good luck with the idea.


Doesn't Bitly do this already? They give some (light) analytics for each short url.


Bit.ly does give analytics but it isn't as insightful as Google's.

It's sort of the same reason why, people love Kiss Metrics as opposed to using the internal analytics on a CMS like Wordpress.

Whereas Google's downfall is when you use their service, all URLs are public and can be traced to the source.

Hope this clarifies my preference.


The only way for recruiters to become viable solutions as "middlemen/middlewomen" are to learn about the technical aspects of the roles they are marketing.

So often, a good majority of them do not understand what's an ideal candidate profile vs. what's a potential candidate profile look like.

This all stems from experience and in my experience, many are lacking in that department at the moment.
