no sign-up.

Type a word or choose a topic, then open a line to read the guidance. Each note fits on a phone screen.

  1. plan Writing a one-page app brief

    Describe the person, the moment they reach for the app, and the single task it completes. Leave features out until those three are agreed.

  2. plan Choosing what to leave out

    List every feature, then mark which ones the first hundred users truly need. The rest go on a later list, not in the bin.

  3. design Checking readability in five minutes

    Increase your phone text size to the largest setting and open your prototype. Anything clipped or overlapping needs attention.

  4. design Colour contrast basics

    Body text needs a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its background. Free checkers will tell you the figure in seconds.

  5. release Before you submit to an app store

    Prepare a privacy policy URL, a support contact, accurate screenshots and a test account for reviewers if login is required.

  6. release Release notes people read

    Lead with what changed for the user, in one sentence. Technical detail can follow for those who want it.

  7. it Keeping your domain safe

    Turn on auto-renew, use a registrar account with two-step verification and keep the login out of shared inboxes.

  8. it Website form emails not arriving

    Check spam folders, confirm the mailbox exists on the hosting account, and remember that a sent message is not a guaranteed delivered one.
