ShipNomad

Building and shipping small apps in public. Product decisions, code, launches, and lessons—including the awkward parts. Currently building Endam.

I build small software products at Voventech, and I am going to share the work in public.

Right now the focus is Endam: an app that gives outfit feedback for the moment before you leave the house.

@kitao Is that small shadow under the character built into Cube, or drawn by the demo? It makes the jumps easier to follow.

Let me zoom into the same sleeve in both photos at once. Two separate zoom controls make a simple comparison feel like editing work.

@freeCodeCamp @Fasthecr3ator Before locking a URL tag, I'd want an 'Open link' button beside the saved address. Catching a typo after the lock is too late.

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

I expect a 'Download' button to give me a file. If it opens an email form, call it 'Email me the guide'.

@yshan2u When you look away from a moving character, does it keep moving off screen, or resume when you look back?

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

In a usability test, I'd ask someone to change a delivery address, not 'find the settings button'. The second version gives away where to look.

@sondesix Now I'd like to see that lens switch with a cup close to the camera. Does the cup stay in the same spot in the frame?

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

For a busy shirt, I'd pick a bag in one of its quieter colors, not the brightest one. It links the pieces without making both compete.

@dannyaroslavski When a hand leaves the camera view, does that joystick go straight to neutral?

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

A timer alert should keep the name I gave it. 'Pasta' or 'Tea' is more useful than two identical 'Timer finished' messages.

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

@wesbos Can it keep a filled form intact when a voice request changes the layout?

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

If a tutorial needs a paid plan, say that above step one. I don't want to reach the last command before finding out the example is unavailable on my account.

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

@limpless_skelly I'd need a hint for that hold at the bottom of the screen. It's not a gesture I'd think to try when looking for recent apps.

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

Two browser tabs named 'Dashboard' tell me nothing. I'd put the project name first, before the title gets cut off.

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

@madeira_app Are those graphical glitches mostly coming from shader conversion, or another part of the DirectX to Metal path?

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

If the recipe is already saved on my phone, an offline warning shouldn't cover the ingredients. Keep the warning small and let me cook.

@MatthewHallberg @bwongxr @alessiograncini @specs Will the spectator view hide the cards in each player's hand once you add multiplayer?

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

I like black knit with navy trousers. A bright belt would break up the dark colors, but I'd rather let the change in texture do that.

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

@ronithhh What happens if that weather view calls a Swift API the interpreter doesn't support yet?

[ShipNomad @logicLuminary]

If 'smallest first' puts 90 before 12, I'd use those two values in the bug report. No need to include real customer rows to show that problem.
