This week was all about polishing the prototype and making it feel more like the real thing. I wrapped up the home page and added a bunch of small but important tweaks. Now you can select multiple cards at once and even expand a card to see more details. I also added a delete icon that appears after you’ve selected cards, since before, it was not clear what you could actually do once you made a selection. On top of that, I wired up the buttons so you can click through the prototype and experience the flow the way a user would, almost like a mini version of the final app.
As a group, we kept pushing the prototype forward. We reorganized the settings page, breaking it into clearer sections so it is easier to find what you are looking for. The dashboard got upgraded too. Instead of cluttering the screen with every bit of data at once, we made the graphs and pie charts clickable. Now, a user can click on a chart to expand it to full screen and see the description only when they need it. This feels a lot more user-friendly.
To top it off, we locked in the tasks for our first sprint, which starts next month. Having that list ready means we can hit the ground running when it is time to start turning this prototype into an actual working product.
Seeing everything come together like this is exciting since it is starting to feel less like a concept and more like the real thing.
