But thats more general stuff. Related to stacker specifically, I think a lot of people fail to push their clients to cut scope during discovery and than end up building things that were actually not needed, or at least not needed now now (as we say in New Zealand). One of the best exercises I have recently done is a visual roadmap in Figma. Basically we took the pages of the internal app we designed and than ordered them left to right as a prioritised development roadmap. After that we estimated each of the epics of work (pages). Then when the client told us the budget we could see how far down the roadmap that got them. It was really helpful to get the client to work out what they actually wanted.

incidentally that was not a stacker app, but the UI was inspired by Stacker. I took the designer on a tour of a stacker app and showed them what I meant by “users can browse the data through clicking on related record links”. Once the designer understood this they put together a design for a react admin app for a white label product our client was building. (if your curios why we didn’t use stacker - not even to POC it was: 1. The user invitation flow with stacker is to slow/confusing. 2. We need to be able to duplicate the app and hook it up to a duplicated airtable base easily, reaching out to stacker support each time we want to duplicate was not an option)
