> You shouldn't build software based on what you're a fan of. Why not? For a solo/passion/hobby product like this, I'd argue you 100% absolutely should build it based on what you're a fan of. My experience is people like Dave who approach things with opinionated laser focus and solve a personal/niche need tend to build things with much higher quality and better experience because they essentially build it for themselves. They are the customer. > Very silly to limit the customer base so much to perfect something very tangential to the experience. This presupposes the goal here is to reach the broadest customer base possible, like this camera+software is supposed to be a rocket ship. What if it's not? What if the goal is to build a high quality, highly-polished product? Focusing on a single OS (one that the maker is obviously a fan of) makes a ton of sense. The style of the website and the focus of the product remind me a lot of the software company Panic (https://panic.com https://panic.com). They make extremely high quality software, with excellent design & experience, and a very narrow focus (unapologetically Apple-only). They don't make any concessions or sacrifice user experience to appease users of other operating systems. I respect them a whole lot more for that.
