Episode notes
Build Budgeting For Quick As-You-Go Decisions
- Do build budgeting tools around low-friction, as-you-go entry and behavioral resistance rather than full accounting reconciliation.
- Caleb describes a PWA-first budgeting app that focuses on quick transaction entry, punch-in-the-face awareness, and minimal reconciliation to change spending habits.
Separate Business Logic To Support Web And Mobile
- Keep business logic outside UI so the same backend can power web and mobile clients later.
- Ian recommends action/service classes for core logic and then progressive steps: responsive PWA, wrapped app, then native with APIs.
Ship A PWA First Then Wrap For App Stores
- Do start with a responsive PWA and only wrap or build native apps if you need app-store presence or native features.
- Ian suggests shipping an installable web app first, then a wrapper for app store distribution, and only later separate native APIs if necessary.
