Our boss is a Virgo.
So then a year's time inside this project, we are basically in constant increase demand, add features, change the bug, because the boss said that the product is not perfect is not strong enough on the last line, the user will not use, investors will not like it. Until one day my boss called out for coffee, said: you level is not enough, go to the team disbanded it.
not bragging forced to speak, I feel that our products than the market more than 50 percent of the product is good, than our competing products can Niubi about 15-20%. Wonderful is that it took seven or eight months to develop a product, but still did not give the user had to play GG up. We talk so much nonsense
, not for black Virgo.
because at this time I regarded the process of entrepreneurship, I found a brother and a few pain points. The sore point is that our bug too much, but we could not find a useful bug management tool. There may be many of my friends would say, bug management tools are not a lot of it: QC, redmine, jira, bugzilla, domestic Zen, easybug, techexcel so much more. These products are powerful surface, but we think they have four disadvantages:
1 function bloated complex, difficult to get started is high.
We studied many current mainstream BUG management tools, especially crooked nuts professional software, features are very powerful, but very cumbersome to use. Too many features, too many attributes, roles, too, poor optimization, complicated operation, with this product we have to go to the whole team for a long time to learn, but also features 80 percent less than we are.
2 interface crimes against humanity, but also the giant ugly, do not want to use.
3 requires the line to deploy, install complex.
4 Professional Edition high charges, casually to thousands, as small companies can not afford this money.
Finally, we still feel that excel regressed some companies develop a few people, basic communication by a roar change bug, there can excel recording, can improvise improvise. After
project disbanded, everyone ate farewell dinner, Jiujin blow regressed. Then we were a bit unwilling, we feel we can do out there is a meaningful user of the product, and then failed to prove the product is because the boss can not. So me and my two brothers decided to hold one o'clock severance payment on a project to make a really serious Niubi product, but of course we certainly do bug management tool because it entirely from our own development process pain points.
three of our team, I am responsible for the pre-operational prototype and product promotion, another friend in charge of the background, and one for front-end development.
brother is responsible for the background a cow, we usually call him brother-hui. Hui brother is the most senior of our 16 years of experience in development, technology Niubi, Tsinghua University graduate. He is a typical procedure ape, especially hardworking special ability to work overtime, not to engage in basic will not go home until 12 o'clock every day.
brothers responsible for front-end called Jiang Tao, Hebei students to do the front end of six years or so of experience. Our brothers is a puzzle, usually not much, giving the impression that a particular literary youth. Knock life outside the code is to look at some of the history of video pulpit, he is a special regular people.
Jiang Tao and I are the same drift north, after the first version of the product line, mainly responsible for product operations and promotion, as well as part of the product manager's job. Main task now is to find ways not to spend money to get the user to retain users.
project from the product to determine, on the first version of the line, we took about three and a half months. Product prototype drawing (page much, more than a dozen) and a logical product took about a week to discuss modifications.
product logic diagram, we want to try to do simple logic, enough. After
prototype OK, we began the development of a direct front-end and back-end. Yes, there is no design aspects, we just start to develop.
Some people may find that our team is missing a designer, this is our team was the biggest problem. Finally, no way, can only end and when Jiang Tao and current design. Probably out for two weeks, the background and interface development is completed, the front end has been taking shape. We do come out of this thing:
this time we find that our products have a big problem, is ugly, is form.
venture will have a variety of such pre-money problem, we must find ways to start, and then solve the problem, continue. Finally, we find designers before the project, the project disbanded after this man because of who to the field, and now vote resume looking for work. We want him to come on, we would have to give guiding instructions how to change it. Finally, the day did not get to design the brothers said: I will not find a job, help you out after I went to vote resume.
and we spent a few days and nights, completely redesigned the page again. Finally, a few meals, hot pot meal to thank the timely brother.
period, the designers did not go home to sleep for a few days a sofa bed. . .
after the product came out, we asked around friends something to do with the development of closed beta for a week, we fix some bug, no problem, so ready to begin formal promotion.
December 6, the eighth son of bug management tools | simple enough, free formally launched.
talk about our problems encountered
1 project at the time, we determined enough to do a simple tool. But in the early stages of product prototyping, we can discuss the needs, they often find that more needs more discussion. Finally out of the prototype is trivial, bloated products. I think this point is very critical, when someone asked this function plus without the time, 90% of the cases, without the right choice. Do not do not know, do not do it.
early product sketch
2 start when we lack resources, using its own resources is very important. Many people will feel nothing contacts and little money, but where resources. In fact, many times, so you need to strive to find a way, there is always a solution. Our products project time, find a special friend to do the test position to give us suggestions, mention needs. Lack of design, designers wanted a way to make a meal to help us (of course, because he is not coming to dinner, always been a good friend). Last night saw
Internet Conference CCTV One person interviewed some of Lei Jun, Lei Jun said millet return to the original mind, do let the user move the product. In this regard, I have my own opinion, there are many excellent crafted products, when you use, you will feel the author's soul present in the product, you can feel the author is the enormous effort and hard work very easy to make this stuff, and then you will be the author of that spirit touched. If I use a metaphor, I think, this feels like watching a moving their own movie.
small team we have a small ideal, allow developers, testers and other research and development team in every role, use the product when we can feel the intentions of the product is particularly sincere, they feel this is a handy, easy to use gadget. Of course, we have a lot to go from that goal.
last hope our users can communicate directly with us, you can respond directly to the public information number, you can also add our micro-channel, and we talk.
