Nick Bradbury: Indie Tip #1: Build Something You Need

Nick Bradbury is offering tips to indie software developers:

Have you ever tried an application that looked great at first, but once you started using it, it just didn’t feel right? The UI was slick and the feature list looked perfect, but the workflow just wasn’t there?

I see this all the time, and quite often it’s due to developers not using their own applications. They built something they thought would sell instead of something they needed, so they don’t see their software the way an end user would.
