Memoshift - efficient way to study flashcards
In collaboration with one talented developer, we made a mobile app that aims to improve experience of studying flashcards — make it efficient, easy, and pleasant to use.
Once upon a time..
..there was a developer who struggled with every flashcard app he used. One app had good UX, but a poor algorithm without the ability to learn only weakly memorized cards. Another app had all functionality he needed, but UX and UI were terrible. Finally, he was tired and exhausted, with no hope, as he wanted to do his own app, but he also knew that he would most likely give up in the middle. But not this time! As he met one extremely talented UX designer (guess who is writing this text), and they agreed to bring this flashcard app to life.
During creation of Memoshift, I learned:
to put my product designer's ego aside and not to force decisions I think are right, but listen to my partner, discuss, compromise and do everything that leads to success of our product;
to organization myself and wear hat of Project Manager for our small team, drive processes and think about product on a roadmap;
to test as earlier as possible and the importance of onboarding process as we spent significant amount of time debating about flows and solutions (while we were too much into context) and after launch we discovered that there were basic things we've missed (such as onboarding, or "delete set" feature that came as a first request from users etc).
