Lab
- Slack – a working case study
- I’ll invite everyone using SB email addresses
- As you sign up and become familiar with the tool, do so with an eye towards your own app. Think about what works and what doesn’t — and why — both on the website and in the app
- Install the app on your phone or tablet
- Expand/refine app tasks
- Common task that all apps should include: account signup
- Let’s talk about email addresses, FB, Twitter, usernames, register/login screen options
- Find and begin analysis of three new competitor apps. Pay special attention to the app website design.
