From Idea to Launch: My Journey Building Scattr.io
Published: 2023-01-13 03:06:09

<p>As the founder of <a href="https://www.scattr.io/">Scattr.io</a>, a cross-blogging app, I have had the privilege of leading the development of this project since its inception in August 2022. The idea for Scattr.io came about after a failed attempt at building a workspace SaaS and a conversation with a mentor and online friend, Akash Bhadange, the co-founder of peerlist.io and my big brother Sohel Shaikh. I realized that there was a need for a platform that allows users to share their content on multiple platforms at once, and thus the idea for Scattr.io was born.</p><p>I was fortunate to have found a partner in Prathamesh, a frontend developer, who was just as passionate about the idea as I was. Together, we began brainstorming the concept for Scattr.io and quickly realized that we needed a designer to bring our vision to life.</p><p>However, finding a suitable UI and UX designer proved to be a challenge. After a few days, I met Jaya Singh, an online friend I had met at Devfest, who helped with user research and had knowledge in designing. She joined the team as the designer for Scattr.io, This prompted me to take on the role of designing and I decided to learn UI and UX on my own. I reached out to my mentor <a href="https://medium.com/u/77abb897ce0c">Akash Bhadange</a> for advice and guidance, and with his help, I was able to learn the necessary skills to design the app.</p><p>In just 15 days, I completed the backend work using Node.js and was ready to work on the design of the app. It was a challenging but rewarding experience, and I am proud to say that I designed Scattr.io. The story of how I designed Scattr.io will be covered in a separate article.</p><p>The development process wasn’t smooth all the way, there were moments of doubt and uncertainty, but with the help of my team, I was able to push through. I am grateful for the support and guidance of my mentor and online friend, <a href="https://medium.com/u/77abb897ce0c">Akash Bhadange</a>, and Vedprakash Arya the founder of <a href="https://medium.com/u/efc3025f85e0">Vivifive Solutions</a>.</p><p>The process of building Scattr.io was not just about coding and designing, it was also about understanding the user’s needs and wants. I along with my team did a lot of user research, surveys, to gather feedback and insights. We used this information to make informed decisions about the features and functionality of the app.</p><p>Finally, after months of hard work, Scattr.io was successfully launched in β. The journey of building Scattr.io has been a challenging and rewarding one. It has taught me the importance of having a strong team, as well as the willingness to learn and adapt to new skills. I am proud to have been a part of this project and I am excited to see what the future holds for Scattr.io. I am hopeful that it will help users to share their content on multiple platforms at once and save their time, effort and energy. It also allows them to track the performance of their content across different platforms.</p>
