# Why could you build for yourself before going into building for the community?

# Why could you try building for yourself ?

First and foremost, it is so much awesome and cool, building something for yourself just for the sake of you using it.

💡 *Imagine fixing your own problems by building something just with lines of code .*

💡 *Imagine automating something so that you don't need to work on that task repetitively , wasting lots of time .*

💡 *Imagine including a feature that you want so badly on any existing application that you use.

# What's in there for you if you build yourself something ?

Building for yourself has so much freedom that ,


> 
You know your product and you can alter it the way whenever you want and however you like .💥

You can fix the bugs on the go .💥

and most importantly , you can learn so much so that it can be helpful to your upcoming projects.💥

# When can you think of adding features to any existing product  ?

We all use smartphones 📱 and 'n' number of apps in it.

Apps are built for people to use but in a large scale .

So , The design , feature is focused mainly on large scale and only the average requirements as for large scale is measured.

## Imagine owning an app development company,

### Who will you aim your products on ?

People in general who can use the app with the minimum but basic features or people who specifically needs a complex feature along with the basic.

It is obvious , that you are going to build it for the community of common interests and focus on it first and may be later you may focus on the specific requirements.

## Imagine in existing apps,

1. You need the to-do✍️ list app to remind you when the list is not yet completed.

2. You are travelling to a location🗺️ and you want the map app to alert you on a specific location.

The ultimate usage of to-do list app is to maintain a list.

For the location app to show you proper coordinates , directions etc.

But in addition to the ultimate behavior , you also need it to work for you for some other specific cases as well .

In that case , **it is high time that you build it for yourself**.

### Other Important takeaways

As a product owner and user , 
**you will know how a product should be **,
**what are the basic requirements you need **, 
**how else you could improve the experience and so on**.

These are very few reminders to start building for yourself , but it does not stop there.

Help yourself and also help the community , Grow together! 😊
