Making a good plan on canvas Building the whole project Shipping/Publishing your Project Here are some rules for building a successful Cana Project:
It should have good design: No one wants 90s style design with gifs. Make your design beautiful, use emojis (but not too many) and you are free to copy the design (please make sure it is not trademarked and free to copy/use) It should be interesting: No is excited to try an OS that like has one music app and some apps which most of them are beta and are just screenshots. Make your OS unique with new features that will appear on the news (probably it will if it is actually unique). It should have attractive thumbnail and title: If you have a bad looking thumbnail or a long title like “Cana OS: The super duper next gen os” no one will click your project. You should design a good thumbnail and think of a short and professional thumbnail like “Cana OS: The advanced os”. Properly explain the instructions: Make the instructions always at the top, put the credits, project updates or the story at the bottom. No one wants to read your life story first, they just want to just try your project. You can save them time by providing it at the top, this way your users will be more likely to try out the project first. Here is a example: “Use ‘help’ command to view all other commands” Tools and requirements to build your Cana Project:
