I generally do high level domain modeling first to get some ideas of the overall picture. I then tackle each components separately based on their complexity. Like ER for data, sequence for communication, class for structure. Overall, nothing too details since it's most likely will get change at some points but it is a good starting place. If you are interested take a look at an app I made for Android and IOS called DrawExpress. I made it to help me with drawing UML and ER quickly. It based mostly on gestures for effeciency although may take time to get use to that style. You can check out the free lite version first
I think releasing frequently give me an opportunity to keep user interested. So far it pressured me to keep on adding values. Either way I think it does have possible effect until I burned out :). BTW, I updated my profile so feel free to contact me.
Seven years is a long time. I am pretty on the same timeframe as well. I took a chance to redo everything over and this time with 5 months I have already launched my new product. My HN launch is kinda depressing as it just gave me 6 visits LOL. That traffic graph is my new motivation factor. I love to improve my writing to write blog like you but for now I am sticking to similar goal and that is to release an upgrade to my product every week.
I am an author of DrawExpress - a gesture recognition diagram app. I built it because there is really no app that let me draw ideas and designs fast enough. Too many of the current apps for tablet are not optimized for touch-based input. Productivity is all about speed and I like to see more gesture controlled productivity apps in the near future.

Hi HN, I spent quite a bit of time building this app. It is a bit different approach from most standard app so it does take a bit to get used to. I would love to get some valuable HN feedbacks to know how to move forward from here.
