I use both nearly every single day and I&#8217;m a big fan as to how the designers focused on content first. Inspired by the top and bottom framing of both apps, I thought through the steps a first-time user will take when they open the app and a regular user once they are logged in to use the app potentially multiple times a day. I spent a lot of time thinking, \u201cWhat is the first thing a user will want to do when they open the app?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I learned quickly I wanted the user to be able to add a new post immediately when opening the app. Combining that idea with my calendar integration plan made adding a new post irrelevant, if Mind Your Time already knows what you did, it just needs a little bit more detail from you. So I chose to make the calendar the first focus. All other navigation ideas flowed easily from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Mind Your Time, I want users to be able to: Track their time and activity spent doing whatever activity they want to track\u2014hours worked freelancing, studying, or volunteering.
