The launch of the Android version of my Baller Score app is getting close. I still remember the days when we used to create App Store and Google Play marketing images in Photoshop or Figma – or, even worse, take screenshots of actual devices.Supporting different platforms, screen sizes, and languages means you can easily end … Jatka artikkeliin Building a deeply integrated App Store & Google Play asset creator pays off
My first mobile app Baller Score is now live on iOS
TLDR: Get it here. All the startup guides say that you should launch when you are a bit embarrassed. Well, as a former lean startup evangelist, I'm a bit embarrassed that I broke all the rules with my first app.I did not start with problem validation; never bothered to validate the solution either. I just … Jatka artikkeliin My first mobile app Baller Score is now live on iOS
Building local & secure survey-analysis tools and other recent examples of using AI in design work
Some recent, possibly inspiring examples of how I've found AI useful in my design and product work. The most interesting thing AI has changed is not speed. It’s what kind of things I can now make real enough to evaluate.Tech validation. There were questions about whether React Native currently provides good enough gesture and animation … Jatka artikkeliin Building local & secure survey-analysis tools and other recent examples of using AI in design work
Juttelimme Bängeri-podcastissa suorastaan relevantteja kokemuksiamme tekoälyavusteisesta koodaamisesta
Tämä jakso sisältää jopa ammatillisesti asiallista pohdintaa. Elias oli puoli vuotta poissa ja koko maailma tuntui ehtineen muuttua AI:n myötä sillä aikaa.Kumpikin meistä teki tahoillaan havainnon, että nyt kuuluisi varmaan alkaa rakentaa omaa mobiilisovellusta.

First sneak peek at my upcoming sailing regatta app
My padel and tennis scorekeeping app is so close to being ready that I decided it was time to start my other project, just to make sure I get it ready by summer. It seems that now that I know how to set up a multiplatform project and plan everything properly, things move much faster … Jatka artikkeliin First sneak peek at my upcoming sailing regatta app
Good pattern: using AI to build tools for yourself
This week, I’ve been experimenting with using AI to build tools for me. To continue my earlier carpenter metaphor: this feels a bit like building jigs that help you build the actual product.Yesterday, I was specifying animations in Figma Make. I asked it to use the motion.dev library so that whatever I defined would be … Jatka artikkeliin Good pattern: using AI to build tools for yourself
LinkedIn: What a leaked Steve Jobs email can teach us about Apple vs. Nokia
Original post. I find it interesting how deep knowledge about something may be considered a disadvantage. I finally consumed Risto Siilasmaa's book "Paranoidi optimisti" during the past summer. I found it interesting, honest, and surprisingly open. One of the underlying themes was how the top management at Nokia was unaware of the status of their technological … Jatka artikkeliin LinkedIn: What a leaked Steve Jobs email can teach us about Apple vs. Nokia
LinkedIn: Strategic design
Original post. Löysin arkistoaarteen. Litteroin aikoinaan 2007 piinaavaan tarkasti TKK:n seminaarikurssini avanneen paneelikeskustelun strategisesta käytettävyydestä. Nyt yllätyin, kuinka ajankohtaisia monet teemat ovat edelleen. Selvä, kukaan ei puhu enää käytettävyydestä vaan kaikenlainen asiakaskokemus ja business design ovat vallanneet ilmatilan siellä missä halutaan kääntää asiakasymmärrys paremmaksi liiketoiminnaksi, mutta pohjimmiltaan kyse on samasta asiasta. Yksi muutos on sentään … Jatka artikkeliin LinkedIn: Strategic design
LinkedIn: App Clips in practice
Original post. If you have a mobile app and presence in the physical world, you should care about App clips and Instant apps. They are an interesting way of fighting app installation friction while still utilising tech capabilities not available on the web. You don't see them too much in Finland yet, but Lime scooters provide a … Jatka artikkeliin LinkedIn: App Clips in practice
LinkedIn: State of design tools
Original post. Good insight about the state of the tools for design, facilitation, user research, design systems etc (n > 4000). I was not surprised to see Figma dominating. I was a bit surprised, though, to see that Sketch is still so much bigger than Adobe XD and that Miro beats Mural with such a … Jatka artikkeliin LinkedIn: State of design tools
