Before and after today’s polishing round. Slowly, but surely, getting there
The start of today's polishing round. The UI takes up a lot of vertical space, without much visual cohesion. After today's polishing pass. The components are grouped together, wasteful information is trimmed, and there's a better flow of information

With Web Awesome moving towards its release date; I’m finally starting to get a proper design for our apps. The theming is still WIP, but the components are much more cohesive

Sneak peek of a new feature that’s coming soon to Little CRM
An iOS Lock Screen, with a push notification from Little CRM that says “What’s happened this week?” A dog with a bandana that says “chaotic bisexual” is in the background

Having fun with error messages once again
A screenshot from a component preview, notably with the following error text when 4 days a week are chosen: "You picked too many days a week; please pick 3 or less. We arenʼt Duolingo here; I donʼt want to nag you every day—no one wants that."

I know this isn't exactly what @lollibeepop.bsky.social intended for our Technical Writeup header images, but if the energy fits…😅 blog.practical.computer/2024/12/12/h...
A colorful illustration of a lab, with the text “How Little CRM is going to try to build a system to try to help folks who aren’t just plain weird, when the space is filled with just plain weirdos” on a chalkboard in the center on the left: Buffy, a white dog, is looking at a bug under a microscope. A vest on Buffy reads “bug inspector.” To the right, a man frantically tries to explain a technical concept to a herding dog, Kira. There is a mishmash of technical ideas strewn about the cork board next to the man (who is holding a cigarette), most of which is hastily scribbled in.

A peek into the UI overhaul for Little CRM’s timeline. First up is top-level filtering by the entry type, with (rounded) counts. The idea is to help the user avoid blindly navigating.
A screenshot of Little CRM's timeline, with 4 section filter links at the top: Everything with 10K entries, Posts with 5.1K, Events with 5.1K, and First Meeting with 100

The form for adding someone important to your endeavors is coming along! I've been trying hard to add fun placeholder values. Hopefully it'll guide to less transactional convos. Plus, it’s just plain fun to add a human element.
