Catalogue App
Having spent some time on the Swim Lane app, I felt a bit more confident to start up another project. The premise? I frequently come across recommendations for books, movies and tv shows to read and watch. At the moment, I write each one down in a list in my Reminders, which doesn't really work that well. Notes doesn't work for me either. But what if I have an app on my phone where I can add books, movies and tv into lists, read and unread, watched and unwatched?
It's not the most groundbreaking idea in the world, but it's a nice place to start with app design because it's simple and involves a variety of design elements to think about. The basics are:
- Have 3 lists (books, movies, tv)
- Have a way of adding to (and deleting from) the lists
- Have a way of marking them read or watched
My first attempts don't look great. Mostly just text in list boxes, with a bit of colour on some of the headings. But I manage to create a set of fields for adding each item, and come up with a rough layout of how I want my pages to look and act.
