Application Development: Designing and Coding Apps

2. Computational thinking, managing system
APIs and Github management
My next project is to plan and design a cross-platform desktop application for
MacOS, Windows and Linux with simple but clear features where the user can do
interactions. Such applications are called “utility apps”. Developed with Electron
framework.
Project Context

3. Computational thinking, managing system
APIs and Github management
A to-do list or task management app called CHECKLIST, developed in Svelte
framework, built with Electron.
Used by those who need to manage and organise themselves at work. Belong to
any profession or nationality but have one goal- to sort out cumbersome tasks,
electronically, with a personalised to-do list.

User- Personas

6. Mood-Board

7. EXAMPLE??
User-Testing with Minimum-Viable Coded
Product with Vanilla Javascript

8. Feedback of positives experienced by users:
● Like the simply designed interface
● Envision task management app, checklist, as an app solving their daily problem of
organising themselves
Features and interactions users like to see:
● Would like to have a calendar to better manage and remember tasks
● A softer purple color of the user-interface
● Would like to have a feature where they are able to experience ‘sense of
completion’ of the task
● Want to see ‘default’ examples to figure out how to use the app

9. First Version of App after Prototype testing

10. Further Iterations after continuous user-testing

13. Key
Learnings:
● Agile process: Learnt practicality the approach of software development
of products and apps with agile method by defining, designing,
developing, continuous testing, and coding.
● Built the ‘Minimum Viable Product’ version of the app to collect feedback
from the users on how they experience the app as close to the final version
and based on the feedback the app is iterated further.
● Github management
● Computational thinking, systems APIs: With small exercises of modern
javascript, svelte, JASON, and API exercises, I learnt the basics of javascript
and how to use it to build simple and easy to navigate apps.
