Care-kiro Evolution - From Nurse App to Platform
While building an app for visiting nurses, I realized something crucial. Without station manager features, nurses can't fully utilize it. Now evolving into a platform connecting both sides, with 5 systems and CI/CD automation!
An important realization while developing Care-kiro.
๐ก Key Discovery
I was building an app for visiting nurses,
but realized station manager features are essential too.
Why Manager Features Are Needed?
Even if a nurse says "I want to use this app!",
without station (office) support, it's impossible to use 100%.
For example:
A personal app has its limits.
๐ Pivot: From App to Platform
So I'm changing direction now.
- Before: Personal work management app for nurses
- After: Platform connecting nurses + station managers
๐ The System Has Grown
Started as a simple app,
now 5 systems are interconnected!
| System | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Landing Page | Service intro & signup | โ Live |
| Nurse Web App | PWA-based work management | โ Live |
| Nurse Mobile App | Flutter native app | ๐ In Progress |
| Station Manager Page | Admin dashboard | ๐ In Development |
| Operator Console | System-wide management | ๐ In Development |
โ๏ธ CI/CD Automation
As a solo developer, automation is life! ๐
CI/CD pipeline built with GitHub Actions:
git push โ auto detect โ deploy all 5 systems!- detect-changes: Detect changed files
- deploy-landing: Deploy landing page
- deploy-web: Deploy web app
- deploy-station: Deploy station manager page
- deploy-console: Deploy operator console
One push deploys everything ๐
๐ Development Status
Currently developing at hyper speed! ๐

๐ฏ Lessons Learned
B2B SaaS must consider all stakeholders.
Don't just look at individual users.
First visualize how it will be used within the organization.
And for solo development, automation is not optional but essential.
As systems grow, manual deployment becomes impossible.
This realization will help Care-kiro create greater value.
A service that both nurses and stations want!
