The UX of that app is so horrific that I don’t know where I should start. I have a dual currency card from EBL. I never used that because of the app and consequently switched to CityTouch, a decent app.​ My payroll account for my new job is at EBL; hence I don’t have any other choice this time. https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/appleclassicmusicapp/ Sun, 02 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/appleclassicmusicapp/ Apple silently bought a classical music streaming service, Primephonic, and killed it to launch its own. Apple did it to solve a UX problem—searching classical music by its convoluted names. Classical music’s naming conventions are not as simple as those of modern genres like pop, rock, indie, etc. The titles of classical music include a lot of information, so searching for and finding the desired piece gets tricky. I wrote an article on how Apple solved this UX problem, which got published on UX Collective. https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/bookdiscussionwithzarif/ Thu, 22 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/bookdiscussionwithzarif/ It’s always wonderful to discuss and share ideas and perspectives. One of my fellow HCI researchers, Md. Zarif Kaisar and I just had an excellent discussion about the book “Show Your Work” by Austin Kleon. This session made me realize how important it is to find my SCENIUS and KNUCKLEBALLER! I highly recommend this book, regardless of your profession. If you do not have the time to read, let me know if you prefer a Medium article or a half-hour-long podcast-like video where we summarize the book. https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/redditblackout/ Wed, 14 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/redditblackout/ Photo credit: Author 📢 Check out my latest blog post on Medium!🚀 “The Reddit Blackout: How Bad UX Triggered a User Uprising.” 📝✨ We are observing perhaps one of the biggest damages to a company for not prioritizing its users. While Reddit’s official app continuously failed to provide a good user experience and meet its users’ needs, third-party Reddit clients continued designing the apps, putting the users front and center. https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/applejoinsfigmacommunity/ Thu, 08 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/applejoinsfigmacommunity/ 📢 Exciting News! 🚀 Apple has just joined the Figma community! 🍎🎉 They have shared their first official design kit, packed with components, views, system interfaces, text styles, colors, materials, and layout guides for iOS and iPadOS 17! https://www.figma.com/@apple https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/iosnewaccessibilityfeatures2023/ Fri, 02 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/iosnewaccessibilityfeatures2023/ Apple is cooking something awesome! I always say Apple is more of a design company. Though they sometimes go for form over usability, they never miss the chance to make their products more accessible and inclusive. Apple’s new iOS features (coming later this year): Assistive Access: Simplifies apps for users with cognitive disabilities, focusing on essential features like communication, photos, and music. Live Speech: Allows users to type and have their words spoken aloud during calls and conversations. https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/introductiontodesignsystems/ Tue, 30 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/post/introductiontodesignsystems/ 📣 Exciting news! Figma released an 80-minute tutorial playlist on YouTube last week, covering a lot about design systems. Though it is not a complete guide, it can be an excellent starting point for learning about design systems.

In the third chapter, “Share something small every day,” the author discussed the concept of “Flow and stock.” Flow is basically the stream of updates of what I’m reading, practicing, and working on daily. On the other hand, Stock is something that is relevant today or in two years, such as my case studies, articles, artifacts, etc, which are suitable for my portfolio or medium stories. https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/contact/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://dflows.sarowarhossain.com/contact/ Portfolio: Sarowar Hossain Email: mishu[dot]sarowar[at]gmail[dot]com
