Walking A Mile In Your Users' Shoes
summary
MediCapt is an Android app built to collect admissible sexual assault exam evidence in the DRC using an offline-first NoSQL sync, custom PIN, no camera‑roll storage and chain‑of‑custody logging; field tests force selection of Bluetooth printers with removable batteries and a slow step‑by‑step UI because many users never used smartphones and distrust “the cloud.” Agrilyst is a farm management product that adds a mobile app, i18n (English Spanish French Arabic), a calendar view inspired by Google Calendar and a Plant Sites model to separate physical capacity from plant counts.
