Producing an application from scratch involves the same creative processes as more traditional "artistic" professions. Your tools are different, but the mental process is very similar.

A lot of writers keep tape records, paper & pen. laptops/computers in the bedroom near the bed so if inspiration hits and the writer wakes up, it can be taken down and sorted later.
