I learned how to read by myself, mostly by pressing random keys on Microsoft Word and then calling my mum and asking:
“Does this make a word?”
Now, years later, my 2.5-year-old and I were practicing some letters on Pages. At some point, she got upset. She had typed a duck and a toilet emoji and she expected them to merge into a new one according to the context, something like a pooping duck.
• a free type canvas (that also follows the words added in the parent space)
• a match-the-letter page
• smiley generation
What I’m also weirdly happy about is the auth screen. Almost all the text is faded until the user types those specific letters, as if they are learning those letters and they slowly become visible.
Crenaly: a booking SaaS I designed and built end-to-end for appointment-based businesses in France: salons, barbers, beauty and wellness.
The core idea: when a client cancels, the freed slot is automatically offered to clients who asked for an earlier time. The first to accept gets it, their appointment moves in place, and the slot they leave is offered next. No double booking, no manual work.
Around it, a full product:
→ Branded booking page for each business, embeddable on their own site
→ Mobile-first booking flow, no account needed
→ Agenda, client management, team roles & permissions
→ Verified reviews, analytics, Stripe billing
Automatically offering a cancelled slot to the next client is such a practical feature for salons and barbers. Designing and building Crenaly end to end must have made those flows much tighter.
