Week 11: what day is it today?

Hey what day is it today?

I have no sense of my days and hours anymore.

Rushing for the final project this week, getting bugs fixed and having new features which were requested by the client. If we can do this right, the game is won. We must satisfy the client.

I think that the aesthetic design needs some spice and yet I still have to meddle with the more important features first. Everyone always judges the app based on the UI first though, and even if the functionality is rock solid, the impression is always based on the aesthetic design.

Here the same problem haunts me where I am not specialised enough to excel in one area. I learn a little bit of everything and dabble here and there with codes, image editing software and such. But in the end, it all becomes very mediocre. Can creativity and eye for design be trained? I think its possible, especially if I expose myself to other people's work. Start noticing the things that make the difference. That factor. Tutorials? Maybe, but that won't go too far, just a kick start.

I think the preschool children are just ultra cute :3 I was managing their accounts using the admin interface. Their bright cheerful faces in the photos just make me feel fuzzy wuzzy warm (: wouldn't it be nice if I get to interact with them.. Unlikely though ): the app is for parents and teachers.

I need some sleep, will be getting some now!

  1. The app interface has improved a lot. :) Try to get us in your developer groups and set up accounts for us so that we can play around and evaluate your app. :)
