This week was all about polishing the polish across my apps to make them smoother and easier to use.
GutLedger (IBS food diary)
- Onboarding is now a full-screen Modal, ensuring users see every detail without any part getting cut off. The Home screen reloads the checklist after onboarding finishes, making sure nothing gets missed.
- Insights badges now use text-safe status colours, improving readability and clarity for users tracking their dietary progress.
ListLedger (shared shopping lists)
- Keyboard-safe dialogs were implemented to make sure users can input items without any issues. The app also adds starter staples during onboarding, helping new users get started quickly.
- Home-screen shortcuts have been added, making it easy to access the app from anywhere on an Android device.
Odomo (UK mileage tracker)
- Past trips can now be logged easily, allowing users to track their journeys more accurately. The vehicle choice is also clearer in the Track screen, and tab labels are cleaner for TalkBack users.
- Higher-rate thresholds and recent purposes have been added to improve filtering options when searching for trips.
Shoji (calm puzzle game)
- Zen mode was introduced, providing a serene environment for users to enjoy the puzzles. The app now uses SDK invite links for CrazyGames builds, making it easier for players to share challenges.
- Seasonal stamp themes were added to keep the game fresh and engaging. First-time visitors are directed to their own board, offering a personalized experience right from the start.
