Plan and launch a dot
The steps from idea to launch, and how updates reach your customers.
You plan the dot and its listing. Your developers build and release it. Tick off each step as you go.
Plan the experience
Write down the one job your dot does and the screens it takes. For a meter top-up: pick the meter, enter an amount, pay, see the token. Note any page worth sharing on its own. Need ideas? See Ideas and use cases.
Prepare your listing
Choose a name, a subtitle and a description. With your developers, agree your dot's package name. It can't change later. For the icon and categories, see Listing and review.
Get your server ready
Your dot talks to your server. Trust and privacy lists what must stay there.
Decide what to ask customers for
Pick the permissions your dot needs from What your dot can ask for. For each one, write the reason Dash will show customers, like "Pick who to send airtime to".
Add your developers to your Space
Each developer signs up for their own Monime login, and you add them to the Space that owns your dot.
Build and test
Your developers start with the quickstart. Meanwhile, pick a few testers and give your developers their DashTags.
Release it
When a version is ready, your developers publish it. Once it passes review and your testers are happy, your developers release it to everyone.
Updating your dot
Customers get each new version without updating Dash. If a version breaks, your developers can roll back to an earlier one. In an emergency they can switch the dot off. Within a minute, Dash stops opening it and taking payments through it.
