KIVS: Keep it Very Simple
While I was building the landing page for Podrover I wanted a simple form to allow visitors to get in touch. I was already planning to host the page on Amazon S3, to keep the deployment as simple as possible. S3 is “just storage for files” and there’s no application server to execute php/ruby code. I could have used the newly introduced Lambda but it didn’t fit my definition of simple.
Simple Idea and Simple Design
I like simple, very much so. I usually tend not to publicize kickstarter projects on this blog, but this tool looks very interesting. How many times you had to slightly hear better the audio coming from your iDevice? Countless times I thought I could use something like SpeakerSlide. A video is worth a gazillion words. Key takeaways for designers and product makers: Solve a problem Solve a single problem If your product is simple, marketing is easier.
