When I read a title like "How to do P" my first question is whether, after reading the article, I can "do P". In this case, the answer is no. It's not a bad article, but it's badly titled. It should perhaps better be called "things to consider when building an educational app". In that there is some good advice, like, "The difficult part is not the technical building, but the interaction design," said Devan Walton... "Being able to pick thoughtful design hypotheses that you can test and iterate is much more valuable than dumping all your money hiring developers." That's true, of course, but you also need to know how to actually write the application code, which unless you've done it is generally what stops most people.
