Tablets have small screens, and when real-estate is expensive, you have to build smart. So I decided to take gestures, old school buttons, a system that tells you where you are and where you can go, and roll it all into one GUI component that looks cool and is DDA compliant. And by DDA compliant, I mean developed with people who face life with various mental and physical challenges, not from a list supplied by your local branch of InfoRUs.
I coded this beast up today, and then at the end when it was done, I realised it was a shoddy piece of crap. I hadn’t thought it through, I hadn’t drawn it out. So I decided to start again tomorrow, following the plan that evolved during the evening, shown above. I’ll get a basic one done tomorrow so I can test it with a range of people, then I’ll add the social sauce.
Talking of special sauce, I found a place to host my stuff so I can share it, links to follow.
