Am I wrong or this just shows that downloads of the big old apps that are around since half a decade are slowing down/stagnating? It doesn't show any number about evolution of apps download overall...
Actually also shows that more recent apps (uber, snapchat, AirBnB, Hulu, HBO) is going up.
How does all this adds up to verify the claim of the headline? What did I miss here? :/ Is that just yet another catchy/fishy HL?
Pretty impressive work, and brilliant idea. I hope you're aiming at keeping it free and as a nice portfolio project. I would be very careful with turning this kind of website -free/pre-mium too early. And besides it, it's a brilliant portfolio project actually.
Coming up feedbacks, but first I'd like to say again that I really appreciate your work here, it's a great start !
Based on the quick test I made: https://makerslate.io/mathias-sauvestre
- First thing that annoys me is inside the skill, the non respect of the typo when in edit mode and how it's displayed. For instance, as a iOS developer, I look dumb in my resume if I write "Ios" (uppercase i). Same with AVFoundation or AFNetworking, those are frameworks that look retarted written capitalized :D (also more mainstream tech @ HTML and CSS should stay uppercase imho)
- The picture I uploaded was brutally cut afterwards, even if I extend the details of the project. This is probably just something small to fix. I think there are smarter ways here to handle the images. I don't want it to be cropped even in "small mode".
- The skill bar can become very quickly crowded. I don't know how that could look like, but I'd probably prefer something with "weights" attached to skills. I give a weight to a skill depending on how heavy the project was on that tech/skill, and the display makes those skills/tech that had biggest weights shine out. Again, design wise, I don't know if that's possible to execute while keeping the design clean (and that's a BIG requirement, which I agree with).
- I might want to edit my title. It's written Developer here, but I'm also Founder, and that's a massive part of my job and skillset, I'd regret if I can't put that in highlight.
- Was just mentioned as a comment while writing, but, I'm not 100% sure with the search bar. It brings something design wise, I can see that, but UX wise seems pretty useless to me (I'd still keep it for design purposes though :D)
- I might want to add badges or create fake milestones that would look good for the projects to decorate them. Elegantly and by keeping it very sober, but something that give weights to them (this last comment is DEFINITIVELY more subjective, and if you go in that direction, you end up building something complex, but could be still an interesting idea).
The rest I like. Fonts are very good, design is clean, sober, elegant, great work.
If you need some help on the web dev side, I'd be happy to contribute freely. Just shoot me a message on Twitter, it's my real one on the test page I quoted.
Best of luck with this project, I hope you'll find time to continue. Great start anyway.
The project looks awesome obviously. What you need to know out of the context with it's director (Xavier Niel), is the guy is an ace of communication.
Looking a little more into details and feedbacks from people who did the school, it's a VERY different story. I would highly doubt anything that comes to the communication about 42.
Probably the vision is achievable, I'm not sure it is by this school.
