Why we build small apps instead of one big one
Every feature you add costs a user something. Here is the rule we use to decide what never ships.
Most productivity software fails the same way: it grows until using it becomes the work. We have a simple rule — an app does one job, and the job has to be describable in a single sentence a stranger understands.
One sentence, one app
If we cannot say what an app does in one sentence, we have not finished thinking. "Prayer times you can trust, with reminders that actually fire" is a product. "A complete Islamic lifestyle platform" is a roadmap nobody asked for.
The cost of every feature
Each feature adds a setting, a screen, a support question, and a decision the user has to make before they get value. That cost is invisible on a feature list and obvious on day one of use.
What this means for our roadmap
We would rather ship five apps that each do one thing than one app with five modes. It means more work for us and less work for you — which is the right way round.
