A birthday card web app weighs whether mobile makes more sense
Amawish is a web app that creates personalized birthday cards with a small history-based touch from the recipient’s exact birth date. The web path made sense at first because matters for this product. People search for terms like “birthday card maker,” “personalized birthday card,” and “printable birthday card.” But birthday cards are not used every day.
They are needed for a specific occasion, often when someone remembers a birthday and wants to quickly create, send, share, or print something personal. A mobile app could fit that behavior better by offering birthday reminders, saved recipients, faster repeat card creation, , easier mobile sharing, and a place to keep past cards. The open question is whether still helps small indie apps get discovered.
Opinions are mixed on whether App Store and Google Play discovery is still useful for small products.
