Show HN: Developed my first App - Posterized, Design Inspiration from Dribble (posterizedapp.com)
1 point by beachminter on July 4, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments


One of my New Year’s resolutions was to develop an app. I’m a UX designer by day so by no means was this going to be easy for me but I’m happy to report that my app was approved yesterday.

Here’s what I learned from the experience:

1. find a few good resources in different formats - bought a book, took a course on udemy, browsed different sites - this helped me learn in different ways and i was able to see what was most important to learn and different ways to do the same thing

2. stop reading. start doing - learned the most when I actually started coding and solving real problems. Made a few stupid, rookie bugs on the way.

3. don’t start from zero - saved lots of time by finding libraries to use from cocopods & github. stack overflow was was a godsend.

Would love for you to check it out and offer any suggestions/improvements.


The home page is nice - but I'm not really sure what your app does? Is it just a mobile version of dribbble?
