Hang is a mobile application designed for college students to help coordinate casual hangouts with friends in a more spontaneous way. Unlike calendar apps or messaging apps, Hang provides disappearing notifications to promote spontaneity in making last-minute plans. The founders tested an early version of the app and received positive feedback on improvements to the user interface, but also found issues with consistency across devices and the need to view past plans, showing the importance of user testing.
a simple description of how we involved our learning outcomes from engineering and design course , along side with how we implement Agile, Scrum, Kanban methods to make our project. we also included the business model, MVP, user stories, burndown chart and the usability test of the project.
There’s a dirty secret in the turf war between agile, lean, and waterfall: they each use the same product development process. What’s different isn’t their process, but how they apply design activities in different ways to eke out different design value.
So how can you alter the design process? Even better, how can you customize the process to provide more value for the way your organization works? How should you change the design process from sprint to sprint to get the most value out of your design activities?
How do you hack user experience?
I did this UX design exercise as a practice about revamping Miriwoong app. Miriwoong, a language is categorised as critically endangered, with fewer than 12 truly fluent speakers remaining.

"A scenario is a description of a person’s interaction with a system.
Scenarios help focus design efforts on the user’s requirements, which are distinct from technical or business requirements.
Scenarios may be related to ‘use cases’, which describe interactions at a technical level. Unlike use cases, however, scenarios can be understood by people who do not have any technical background. They are therefore suitable for use during participatory design activities." http://infodesign.com.au/usabilityresources/scenarios/
A software, undergoes countless brainstorm sessions, rigorous testing in IT environment management and then comes to the production. The task of adding more features to software is like a maze game. The end question that leaves everybody wondering is “How the hell did this functionality come here?”. Famous by various other terms like, “Scope creep”, “requirement creep”, refers to unforeseen requests for the addition of features that are not listed in the project scope.
The Trick of Designing User Interfaces that SlayMindfire LLC
Now, the problem every time was the expectation to offer perfect answers, along with supporting reasons. Although my intuition helped me get through on a few, the part I would struggle most was in offering convincing reasons to support my answers. I felt my supposed intuition had some underlying logic and concepts but I needed to reify those. I needed to have constructs that I could use to easily judge any Design, be it a web page, mobile application UI or even a poster.
How we turned customer feedback into actionable insights for product managementTim Hardaker
What I learned about the value of customer feedback during the triple j mobile app redevelopment from a product manager's perspective, and some initial thoughts on how to turn a mountain of (sometimes angry) messages into useful insights for prioritising your product roadmap.
0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

2. Who are dissatisfied with (the current way they
coordinate casual hangouts with friends)
3. Our product is a (mobile application)
4. That provides (a way to make spontaneous plans).
5. Unlike (calendar applications or standard messaging
apps),
6. Our product (provides the disappearing notification to
promote spontaneity).
5. Hang
Unexpected Issues
Shapes and text looks distorted on
different screen sizes
Inconsistent UI on
different devices
Ensuring styling remains consistent
(e.g. use flex CSS component)
Once a Hang expires, it disappears
from the app
Viewing past hangs
isn’t possible
Need to add ‘Past Hangs’ page
6. Hang
User Feedback
“I see some clear
improvements from MVP 1,
I think UI is definitely
better”
“The sidebar is dope” “I wish I had this app today,
I just made a group chat for
dinner tomorrow”
9. Hang
Two Things We’ve Learned
1. Identifying consumer pain points
○ Developing multiple personas helped us identify the underlying goal of Hang
2. Understanding the importance of user feedback
○ Consumer feedback opened our eyes regarding the functionality of Hang
