OK! Product Creator

  2023 年我失业了，领了个小礼包，当时想着自己年纪大了，工作不好找，而且从长远来看，还是得有一个能给自己或小团队带来稳定现金流的产品。于是就和伙伴商量，我们一起开发产品，主要分工是我来负责产品规划及设计，兼做些前端方面的工作，伙伴（之前我们在同一家公司，一起被裁）负责前后端的开发，产品出来后，由我来负责运营。这一年来，我们尝试了几个产品，主要是微信小程序相关的，有了一些用户，但是没有太多的收入，越往后越焦虑。 2024 年初，我与伙伴商量，还是得在自己熟悉的领域去思考产品方向，前面几年我们的工作都是与跨境电商相关的，特定是服务了在亚马逊上销售定制产品的卖家，这类卖家的需求我们是相对了解的，那么是不是有可能开发服务于这类卖家的应用，服务于 Shopify 上做定制业务的商家，以及当亚马逊上的定制卖家想在 Shopify 上拓展业务时。之所以考虑到 Shopify，也是因为在跨境电商领域，提得最多的就是亚马逊和独立站了，Shopify 提供了类似于 Apple App Store 那样的应用商城，方便商家寻找插件，也为小开发者或团队提供了业务的可能。就我所知，是有一些小团队及公司在 Shopify App Store 上取得了巨大的成功。 过年完 2 月中旬启动项目，因为要先熟悉 Shopify 应用开发规范，第一个应用时间会长一点，所以就把项目周期定为 3 个月，5 月下旬需要审核通过并上线，在 5 月初就得开始测试，以此来倒推工作进度。3 月初，我已经把原型及需求文档给完善了，原型用 Figma 来设计，需求文档就用语雀来管理。然后就是沟通需求，拆分功能模块，设定时间节点，后来有些需求根据 Shopify 所提供的 API 及 UI 组件进行了微调，但整体的方向是不变的。在产品设计上，我们参照的是亚马逊上的定制功能，尽量做到亚马逊上的商家来使用时，可以不需要学习就能上手，而 Shopify 上的商家在使用时，也不能复杂。Shopify 应用市场上，服务于销售定制产品的商家的应用已经有不少，有的复杂，有的简单，从评价数量上看，有些应用的用户基数也比较大了，但在交互形式上与亚马逊定制功能类似的还没有，我们就想从这点出发，在满足定制产品配置功能的基础上，能够方便亚马逊卖家开辟新平台，以此获得一部分用户。（这样的决策我们也不敢肯定就会成功，只能是先做再调整了，...

In 2023, I found myself unemployed and received a small gift package. This prompted me to consider my future and the need for a consistent source of income for myself and my small team. After discussing with my partner, we decided to leverage our expertise and experience to develop a product together. I took charge of product planning, design, and some front-end work, while my partner handles both front-end and back-end development. We ventured into creating WeChat small programs, but the results did not provide substantial income, leaving us feeling increasingly anxious. In early 2024, my partner and I discussed the need to focus on a familiar field, particularly our years of work in cross-border e-commerce serving customized product sellers on Amazon. This led to the idea of developing applications to support similar sellers on Shopify and to aid Amazon sellers in expanding to Shopify. We chose Shopify due to its relevance in cross-border e-commerce and its function as an application...
