Ask HN: How to write case studies for apps I've built?
Do you guys have any case study writing tips for apps that I've planned and built? What to include? What not to include? Thanks!

- gus_massa 4y agoDo you have an example of a nice case study written by someone else? You can try to steal^W copy the style.
- NickRandom 4y agoIt boils down to - What problem was solved by who and how/why. Lead with big names (if you have them) but the basic formula is - Company(X) had Problem(Y) that was solved by using (Z) Bullet-point the lead, then a paragraph outlining/expanding what was solved by using (Z). Whenever possible use facts and figures in this opening paragraph. Always check with existing customers whether or not they would be ok with using their name or other easily identifying information in the case study. Most are ok with it, some have policies about vendor/supplier endorsements so check first (and run the final draft past them to make sure they are happy with what you have written). As gus_massa said - Take a look at other case study examples to get a feel of what ever format has the most 'punch' to you and copy/steal the format.
