Editor's Notes
- #3 How do you stand out?
- #4 You want to make sure you give yourself every opportunity to stand out Don’t hope you go viral, get picked up by apple, etc // But there are other factors that play into SEO
- #5 Can configure N days, session opens, messaging, etc
- #6 - Notice the button configuration (bottom is actually the cancel by default)… but it’s the one people instinctively hit
- #8 It’s the first touchpoint People should be drawn in, pleasantly surprised by interactions It’s not all about pushing together perfectly pretty pixels Think glows, fades, uicontrolstates The designer should think about these too!
- #10 I wish the app had _______ I’m having trouble with _______ When will you have ______ Notice the knowledge base
