Hello again @chekohler :)
You have an awesome point. I will talk about that more probably in my next post. This is very important and I think it is crucial to do that step early and with great quality, because everything goes from there. If you gather the wrong data you will make wrong conclusions, hence you will work on your project with the wrong idea. It is even harder when you have no data at all.
Thank you for reminding me of this topic. I wrote about these steps a few years ago and I might complete it now and make a post out of it. Hope to see your comment there also! Thanks man :))
Oh for sure, i'll be looking out for it, enjoy getting into your thought process and how you see design
I am pretty sure you could help some of the projects here, we have apps like ActiFit and Ecency which you can use on the HIVE blockchain but UX and design has taken a back seat. I am sure your experience could help improve these apps greatly
Well, how can I help and where? :)) I am going to be so glad if I can contribute.
I used ActiFit before (when we were on Steemit) but then I started to train jiu-jitsu and I didn't know how to combine those two. Maybe I didn't search enough, maybe those options didn't exist... I didn't know how many calories I lost during my training because you cannot have your mobile phone during jiu-jitsu. There were several other problems and I will help if I can at least to point them out.
You can get involved in their discord chats and provide feedback or suggestions for the app maybe some mock up designs all of them are pretty responsive to suggestions.
You can find the discords here
I tried using it with my phone but it sucked so I went out and bought a cheap fitbit and promised myself id earn the money back in HIVE/STEEM lol
