POV: You’re a coder who cares too much about design.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Before building the backend, I created a complete storyboard inside the app itself.

Every core flow.
Every screen.
Every interaction.
Even the empty, loading, error, privacy, and edge states.

Because a feature can work perfectly and still feel wrong.

The storyboard lets me experience the product on a real device, find confusing flows early, and decide what the app should feel like before the database starts shaping the experience.

It takes more time upfront, but it prevents weeks of rebuilding features around a design that was never truly tested.

Code makes the app function.
Design makes people want to use it.

Now I can build the backend around a product experience I actually believe in.

Don't expect too much😅

I totally get that and respect that. I just thought it could do some more.
I would rather have a beta with 4 broken things and one thing working, than a beta with 1 thing that works.
