12/11/20 Day 11: 11th December - What is a favourite family Christmas/holiday memory that has stuck with you through the years? Why? ❄️

A favorite family Christmas memory would honestly be when I got my first iPhone. Under the tree there was a small present and inside of this little box was a piece of paper that said “Congratulations, you won an iPhone!” It was really cute and then I later went to the store with my mum to pick out my new phone.

Day 10 Goals:

🔏Implement a search bar in the app

🔏Watch videos on how to implement search bar

Goals completed! For the search bar my teammate was actually able to implement in so I asked her to show me how she did it and her thought process after demo day. All of the videos and documentation that I read was not helpful at all! Well they were helpful, but didn’t help my solve my problem because it wasn’t just a search bar, but having to implement an API and a network request that worked in tandem with that search bar and the movie/show results.

Day 11 Goals:

🖋Finish code for MovieDetailsViewController

🖋Work on Demo Day presentation- share with group members

🖋Practice giving the presentation (via Zoom w/ screen share), write out a script to get my thoughts on paper

Back-end

Memoir has been programmatically animated with Swift (iOS) as a team project for CodePath iOS for Designers. Memoir uses iCal SDK to send text entries.

UX/UI Design

Mental model as a user: What’s the UI components of the existing experience of writing a diary, on a physical notebook?

When I want to write a new note, I go to the next blank page on the right.

When I want to read my previous notes, I go to the left pages. The more I turn pages, the further it goes backward in time.

The bookmark enables to go straight to the last page I’ve written.

UI Gesture based-only

Inspired by the UI of other apps and for the sake of implementing fun and advanced iOS features, we considered the following challenge: how to navigate without any call to actions and relying entirely on gestures?

This implies a coherent mental model based on actual use of the app.

User Interviews

Why do you hold a diary? How does it help you in your life?

Why don’t you hold a diary? What do you do instead?
