You can pick out which pieces of inspiration to choose, look at genres or randomise.

Key wireframes

Feasibility Data, content, technical

Our app needs some content for the inspiring images and

quotes, the content owner should be ok to share it. There

shouldn’t be authorization required. Our solution isn’t hard

to build because it just contains images and quotes. I think

a professional developer could build the app in less then

three months because its not a high tech app. There isn't a simpler solution to the app using existing technology.

Business Case

There weren’t many customer pledges and we didn’t have to change our plans to find customers that are willing to pay because our app is unique.

Marketing Strategy

We would make posters advertising the app, create pages on social networks and spread the word.
