I built this for the Product Hunt Maker Festival using Coda and Glitch. This idea came to me after my 2nd gen iPad was crashing Nick Burka's One Big Thing app.
I remixed his app with John Zeratsky's and Jake Knapp's Highlight concept from their book, Make Time.
Hey HN! We're excited to launch the SlidesUp API. SlidesUp is the hub for all your conference planning activities. With our API, you can now build on top of our platform to power your website, app, digital displays, and whatever else you can dream of.
Event organizers have always wanted to collaborate with their team and market their conference as soon as they confirm speakers. With our organizer tools, anyone can build an agenda, add speakers, and manage those last minute changes. Real-time updates and synchronization across your experiences make sure your attendees know what's going on.
...and how I accidentally started a research sprint on Twitter.
Building products in secret is hard/no fun. That's why I'm sharing my experience build as I build @SlidesUp. The first post is about using research sprints to inform your product design activities. What topics do you want to hear about next?
Please comment here, on Medium, or @KunalsLab on Twitter.
> There are libraries similar to Lottie, such as Marcus Eckert’s Squall and Facebook’s Keyframes, but our goals are slightly different. Facebook picked a small set of After Effects features to support, since they were focusing mainly on reactions, but we want to support as many as possible.
I can! I built out the iOS side of the project.
Aside from supporting as many after effects features as possible we wanted push what could be done with animation. One example in the current version is using exported after effects files as animated transitions between view controllers. In the future we hope to support more programmatic and interactive uses of animations built in after effects.
This supports a larger number of after effects animation features, it also has support for native animated view controller transitions, support for react native, programmatically masking arbitrary views from after effects layers.
Check the readme on the github for each repo for more info :)
I met Gary, the founder, through an outdoor fitness group in Boston. He's continuing with the health and wellness theme with his new product, the LifeLight Touch. He's launching it on Amazon after a successful Indiegogo campaign. For all of us who work indoors, LifeLight Touch can make us more energetic and productive. Happy working!
This is a follow up article to one I wrote last year. This time, I'm focusing on lowering the cost of decision making. Would love to hear your thoughts!
I’ve always viewed prototyping tools as a means to an end. Whether I’m building a “looks like” or “works like” prototype, I want to be quick and invest as little time as possible to achieve my goal. In the article, I've focused on a few tools that help me prototype responsive behavior, show transitions and animations, and translate designs for developers.
Would be happy to answer any questions about the article here on Hacker News.
I'm currently working on Part 2 of the article and would love to hear your thoughts. What do you do to take a design concept and make it easier to build?
