Weekly progress diary on RunPee:NX
We are rebuilding the RunPee app from scratch using Google Flutter. Here’s a brief report on our weekly progress:

Here’s the design on the Peetimes screen to date. (The text looks a little fuzzy here but it’s plenty sharp in the app.)

The thing I like the most about the redesign is how the “recommended” Peetime note has changed. I think it makes a lot more sense, to put the recommended, emergency, or ALERT, icon in the “About this Peetime” box where you can read why we gave it the label we did.

What do you think? There’s still a LOT of work to be done on the app. And the design has just barely begun. If you have feedback now’s the best time. 🙂
