Weeknotes vol. 12: Teaser site, settings screens and new ideas
Posted:
I got sucked in by the last week of school activities, so not a lot to report other than end-of-year parties and swimming and grilling and swimming.
We launched a teaser website for Braindrop on Tuesday so that people can sign-up to become beta testers once we’re ready. It’s Phil designed and coded and features a classic Christoph illustration.
Phil handed over the Braindrop settings screen design on Thursday and I was able to spend some time at the computer to get through the front-end and some of the basic functionality.
And last but not least, I’ve been mulling over a team productivity slash digital community idea in my head that will hopefully become Better Than Good project number two in the near future.
That’s all folks.
