Why I started building EMAS Attendance

Every product starts with a problem someone is tired of. For EMAS Attendance, it was attendance tracked in spreadsheets and chat messages.

Start small

The first version did one thing: let employees check in and out, and let a manager see it. Everything else came after real feedback.

What I learned

• Talk to the people who have the problem before writing code.
• Security and data isolation are product features, not afterthoughts.
• One codebase for web and mobile kept a small team fast.
