A shorthand for designing UI flows by Ryan of 37signals

“Flows are made out of individual interactions. A screen offers some possibilities and the user chooses one. Then something happens, and the screen changes. It’s an ongoing conversation. Each moment in a flow is like a coin with two sides. The screen is showing something on one side, and the user is reacting on the other side. My flow diagrams illustrate this two-sided nature with a bar. Above the bar is what the user sees. Below the bar is what they do. An arrow connects the user’s action to a new screen with yet another action.”

It's not a web app. It's an app you install from the web

Tips on disguising a web app as a native app  :

  • Avoid replicating the default OS styling and interactions
  • If you aim for a fully custom, native app look and feel, you’ll be more likely to succeed
  • Only animate properties that are GPU accelerated
  • Don’t try to implement custom scrolling
  • Design you interface around the technology you have, not the technology you wish you had
  • Use something like FastClick (for performance)
  • Use appcache (for performance)
  • Spend hours—hours!—mashing on your app with your big, clumsy fingers
