I found the icon on the Noun project, I'm attributing it a bit further down on the site. Accuracy is super tricky here. Some people speculate that the numbers coming out of China a…

Thanks for sharing. I also started messing with a dashboard here: https://www.germanysbestkeptsecret.com/corona Data I used is also from John Hopkins, turned into a JSON file via: …

The app runs in the background, you don't have to have it open/active.

Wow, that's a great analysis. In addition to being less efficient, there's definitely more overhead with the extra layer of JS underneath. Just of the top of my head, this might be…

As one of the designers of this app, I was skeptical initially if there would be restrictions on customizing common UI components, the smoothness of animations/interactions, usabil…

I also set up a tool to export your Ffffound account to http://www.wookmark.com . Note that a paid account ($20/year) is required, so I can keep the lights on. If you want to do th…

The other side of this is that it helps usability when things look and feel familiar. It's interesting how it's accepted that desktop applications generally look the same, but mobi…

But that's a matter of priority then, isn't it? If portability is important then you have to sacrifice some power. I'm curious, what do you run on your computer to max out a brand-…

Really don't understand this. Why can't those demanding Pro people just get iMacs. It's cheaper and supports 32GB of RAM. Of course, it's stationary, but pretty sure those specific…

Here's a quick illustration I put together recently to show the cruft of mobile news sites: https://dribbble.com/shots/2118552-DBC-News-Concept/attachme... I hope this whole discus…

I like the proactive approach. Just yesterday, I went to an IXDA breakfast event and some recruiters showed up. Some people were just annoyed by their presence, but I thought it wa…

Shameless self promotion - I just did a talk about protoyping last week that touches on many of the points Paul makes, and also explores some of the tools available. Hope some find…

I really wish Google could come up with a good overarching strategy for their products and stick with it for a long time. I'm losing track of how all the different services relate …

Still not sure how this would work for anybody with a family and kids and/or living outside of urban areas (the majority of people). Has this been touched on in previous discussion…

Reminiscent of the Amazon Fire Phone promo video. Woman holds up phone to a book cover and says "Fire Phone can instantly identify this book, tell me the title and where to buy it.…

I think Android is shooting itself in the foot here by making things look more complicated than they might be. Take a look at the documentation for screen support ( http://develope…

Wanelo has a great conversational tone in it's copywriting. Check out the iPhone app update descriptions: http://www.appannie.com/apps/ios/app/wanelo-shopping/ I believe I've read …

Same here. The idea of Inbox Zero is like a physical mailbox that requires you to empty it. The idea of Inbox infinity is like a Twitter/Facebook stream, where things go by and you…

The Critical Path discusses really well in the latest episode. http://5by5.tv/criticalpath/112

And yet app revenues keep increasing every quarter ( http://www.asymco.com/2014/02/10/fortune-130/ ). First, I'm not sure poor marketing practices can be blamed on the App Store it…

You can always just do a screencast where you narrate the use case. That way you can give a nice introduction, explain things along the way, and provide a wrap-up. As you said, hav…

I don't think it's a fundamental flaw. Reporters can always pull in experts (historians, scientists, etc). Reporters should probably also specialize in specific areas (local, weath…

I always got the impression that Branch had a very talented team, but that the products were very over-engineered. By that, I mean that the interface was very polished, but also ve…

Personally, I found that I get bored/frustrated with work when the job is not aligned with my long-term ambitions. Might be similar for you if you are working for other people, whi…
