You know those adorable book-sharing boxes you see around neighborhoods? The organization behind them is Little Free Library, and they just made it easier, and even more fun, to find and share books with the launch of their mobile app.

Megan Hanson, Senior Digital Producer at Little Free Library, joins the show to share how the journey of building a “simple” app took a lot of hard work for this non-profit team.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to become a Little Free Library steward


• Why it’s hard work to build a simple app


• How to draw the line between nice-to-have and must-have features


• Tips for hiring a technical team

This episode is brought to you by The Jed Mahonis Group, where we make sense of mobile app development with our non-technical approach to building custom mobile software solutions. Learn more at https://jmg.mn.
