GETTING HUC’ING STARTED!

I have a hard time sitting still. Especially when I am excited about something – like a puppy waiting for a treat. So, naturally, I was dying to move forward. After the idea manifested itself, and meeting my future soul mate, Sarah, I was ready to start putting pen to paper. Knowing little to nothing (later I would learn that “nothing” was closer to the reality) about building an app, I started with the first logical step I could think of from my experience in building websites and other such life experiences – the wireframe.
