A solid example of turning everyday productivity into one focused experience. Habit tracking, streaks, deep work sessions, and progress tracking all brought together in a practical way.
I built a personal productivity mobile app. Think of it as an all-in-one daily self-improvement tracker. It has four main sections accessible via a bottom tab bar:
Home: A dashboard showing your daily progress at a glance
Habits: Track recurring habits with frequency options...
Hey @Contra HQ , my Discovery Score just hit 101, and I want to share something with anyone starting from scratch. 🚀
I didn't get here overnight. I started with zero, not knowing when things would finally work out.
But I kept showing up. Kept putting myself out there. Kept believing that something would eventually click.
I stopped waiting for the perfect moment. Stopped doubting every step. And started trusting the process.
Show up.
Share your work.
Keep building.
Keep going.
I'm still far from where I want to be. But seeing my progress today reminds me why I never gave up.
You don't need to know when it'll happen. You just need to keep going until it does.
Sometimes, everything starts changing right after you decide not to quit. ❤️
Working on a UX project to simplify an internal company app and make everyday tasks faster and easier.
I redesigned a 16-screen workflow into just 6 screens — a 62.5% reduction in screens — by removing unnecessary steps, simplifying the user flow, and making key actions easier to complete.
The goal is to reduce user friction, minimize cognitive load, and help employees complete tasks with fewer steps.
Hopefully, I can share the full case study soon! 🚀
Cutting 16 screens down to 6 is the kind of ruthless editing internal tools desperately need. Fewer steps and less cognitive load is a win every employee will feel, looking forward to the full case study.
