A designs for product design.tips 2020 challenge.
Honestly, I just want to refresh myself on UX design stuff and try out drawio on a project. I also want to try and learn how to use Helio to gain product design feedback.
I'm hoping to participate in a group with people to learn more about UX/UI, try out tools from the sponsors as well as others such as Draw.io and Helio App.
To communicate I plan to use zoom for group meetings and the the official Slack channel for communication and you can find me as Hans on there.
Why not. Github is awesome and you should be using it even if you don't code.
Trivial amount of money and free use of the sponsor products...

Storyboarding. Map out the customer’s journey to get a picture of what interactions your product needs to support.
Defining tasks. Make a list of tasks the customer needs to complete to use your product successfully. Speedy sketching. Sketch four possible interfaces for the product you’re trying to design.
This step is optional, but we suggest to at least include success metrics (how you will test your solution). Otherwise, prepare a test and ask a few people to test it. Make a summary of the results.
Guerrilla testing or use slack community to test your prototype and help test others.
Submit in the form of a case study (see templates/caseStudy.md).
