From 9e5500dea9b5217d3f9056a15123130b24047992 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaap Marsman Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2022 09:29:25 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] updated README file --- README.md | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 0b3ab45..5f3ba19 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -8,8 +8,9 @@ This app is being developed, researched and released using the following guiding 1. **Research-informed**: Wherever possible, any intervention or activity suggested by the app will be supported by academic research. An up-to-date list of academic references (APA style) will be kept within the app with a very brief description on what segment of the app it informed. A more detailed breakdown may appear on my private website, or here, at some point. 2. **Agile practises**: I will try to adopt agile coding practises as I go through. This means I aim to release useful features as soon as possible and reiterate, refactor and improve based on feedback. Using the in-app feedback button to let me know how things work for you is therefore the best way to gather this information at this stage. -3. **Free, Open Source**: Inspired by the likes of the NOBA project, the Linux community and countless other highly successful Free, Open Source Software (FOSS) projects out there, my aim is to offer a wide-ranging wellbeing tool available for free to anyone who seeks to use this. The only exception may be future iOS versions, due to the requirement for a paid Developer account with Apple. This will depend on any changes in my personal financial situation. -4. **Potentially informing my own research**: This guiding principle may develop into something cohesive or fall away completely. I am currently a student at Glasgow University, completing my Master's in Science in Psychology (online conversion). Depending on how successful I am with developing this project, I may end up designing a research project around it to inform my dissertation / thesis. This is an idea I'm toying with. If this pans out, the research project will run separate from this app, but I will seek volunteers to gather anonymous usage data from. I will not build *any* telemetry into this app. Ever. Any sampling and data collection will run through a separate platform (most likely LimeSurvey). +3. **Cross-platform**: The app will (when a first release happens, see the [Features document for an overview](FEATURES.md)) be cross-platform, available initially for Windows, MacOS, Linux & iOS. Android may happen, I currently don't have any Android devices to play with. +4. **Free, Open Source**: Inspired by the likes of the NOBA project, the Linux community and countless other highly successful Free, Open Source Software (FOSS) projects out there, my aim is to offer a wide-ranging wellbeing tool available for free to anyone who seeks to use this.
