I'm working on an #app for #Pokemon card collecting, and managing your collection digitally - so far I've built out some of the search and filters, with more features to come! #ios #iosdevelopment

My gameified step tracking app, Micro Kitty, is now on Product Hunt too! #iosapp #iosdevelopment #app #fitness www.producthunt.com/posts/micro-...

WeatherCute and Exhibit Finder DC are both now on Product Hunt! Check it out! #ios #iosdeveloper #appdevelopment #swift www.producthunt.com/products/wea... www.producthunt.com/products/exh...

There is nothing like the excitement of discovering a new API that you really want to work with

I'm very pleased to share that my step counting app, Micro Kitty, now comes with a companion Apple Watch app so you can check your step count on your wrist! I'm excited about developing even more watch apps. #ios #developer apps.apple.com/us/app/micro...

There's a new update for WeatherCute available! Learning #UX design taught me a lot about the importance of accessibility, so this update features compatibility with the 'increase contrast' option on Apple devices #weather #app apps.apple.com/us/app/weath...

The best number of crashes to see on your apps in the App Store - zero #iOS #AppDevelopment

Here's an example of strange #UX in an ATS - a date of 1/1/2021 gets erroneously converted into a fraction, as do other dates where the day ends in 1

Something (which I've been busy with) is in the works! An update for the cute walking app, Micro Kitty, is on its way. #iosdevelopment #watchos

I learned about heuristic evaluations today, and I can't wait to have a chance to try one #ux #uxdesign www.nngroup.com/articles/how...

My current reading - I can't help but be curious and want to learn as much as possible, and this is turning out to be an even more intriguing read than I predicted

I made this mockup based on the paper and digital wireframes I had done for a project, just to see how a final (cutesy) design might look. It's interesting that the two columns from the original sketch made a return in place of the three in the digital wireframe. #ux #uxdesign

I've started picking up JavaScript (because I see it in job postings so often) and it's not bad at all, knowing an OOP language (Swift) definitely helps cause the general usage is similar

I saw this article on LinkedIn earlier today and it really helped me understand how user testing is different from usability testing #ux #userexperience www.bighuman.com/blog/user-te...

I applied for the Google UX apprenticeship program last week, and I'm nervous about it, if I were to be accepted it would make a huge difference for my career but I just don't know what will happen, fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Here's the first sticker I made for my movie ticket app project - I love the way sticker sheets make showing visual style easy, and when you use UI components updating those styles is easy too #ux #design Case study here: kduncan-welke.com/MovieTicketA...

I've acquired a small whiteboard to put my to-do list and notes on, but now I can't stop thinking about the possibilities of using it for sketching and ideation 😮

Here are some digital wireframes from a practice project for a coffee shop group order app I did during the #GrowWithGoogle #UX #design certificate - looking at these again makes me want to build them out into a high fidelity version!

My new Exhibit Finder DC app update with dark mode compatibility is here! #iosdev #ios apps.apple.com/us/app/exhib...

I've been seeing user-centered #design as a keyword in job descriptions a lot lately, so I revisited my notes on it from the Google UX Design Certificate, and it basically captures the goal and purpose of good #UX design

I've released updates for WeatherCute and WeatherCute World due to changes in the data delivered by the APIs that were causing load problems for both - these updates will fix those issues 👍🏻 #ios #apps apps.apple.com/us/app/weath... apps.apple.com/us/app/weath...

One of the best things about usability studies is the small but important changes user feedback indicates, like the location of the cancel button, and additional clarifying language, seen here on the review order screen of my movie app #ux #uxdesign

My problem, hypothesis, and goal statements for my current project are all complete, so next it's on to the competitive audit! #ux

Here's a look at the way I came up with the concept for my portfolio redesign - a few simple elements that came together into a cohesive #design #ux #ui See it all here: kduncan-welke.com

The bug fix is now available! An update to changed widget margins is also on its way.

The data delivered by the NWS API for WeatherCute has changed, which is causing the app to crash - a fix is coming soon

I'm beginning to visualize the way users will interact with my moon observation app with a user journey map! #UX #UserExperience

I've been so busy with career activities lately I haven't been able to work on my personal projects 😞

I'm ironing out the details of my persona for my moon observation app project, then it's on to their user story! #uxdesign #ux

The most exciting part of user research to me is discovering feedback you didn't predict you would receive, and seeing the difference it makes when you incorporate it into your project #ux

I finished updating my animal shelter website case study! Check it out below #uxdesign #ux kduncan-welke.com/AnimalShelte...

If anyone's up for participating in a user research survey for a moon observation app, here it is! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It can be easy to focus on the deliverables for a #UX project, rather than the way it solves a user problem - that's why I'm revisiting my case studies to focus on their stories instead, and the way the products create solutions to their users' problems.

Any moon lovers interested in participating in user research for a moon viewing app? #uxdesign

Check out my movie ticket app on Behance! #ux #design www.behance.net/gallery/1986...

The struggle of having multiple UX project ideas to choose from, while also wishing to work on a real product to help real users (not just made-up ones)

My severe weather app/website project is on Behance! www.behance.net/gallery/1981...

It looks like Etsy updated their red alert text color; it's slightly more pink now, which does have a certain visual appeal but it doesn't quite pass the WCAG AAA requirements (screenshot from WebAIM: webaim.org/resources/co...)

I needed to update the look of my music player app, TuneHue, so I used a wireframe thrown together in Figma to come up with the new look #ux #iosapp apps.apple.com/us/app/tuneh...

I'm hoping to find some UX people to follow here - if you regularly post about user experience design please let me know! (search is not coming up with active people)

I recently redesigned my severe weather app for the greater good - old version on the left and new version on the right The new design is cleaner and more modular, so users can focus on absorbing the content #ux #uxdesign
