Hi guys, it's been a couple of crazy month, we've joined forces with Nusonix to come up with an amazing music app that combines your voice with music, listen to a demo here http://www.musigram.com/

But we haven't given up on creating something amazing for FastBeats yet, we had an awesome run with Liz todo list, and we're just gna try some new things now, and one idea that came up was a news reader.

News!!??? Yes, news, we looked at our competition and still found things missing, I still cannot finish reading a whole article, so why not make it bullet points? why not make news reading extremely easy and get to the point? Why not reimagine what news can be, or how a story is being told? If you liked what you saw in Liz, and you read news, then sign up here http://novi.launchrock.com/

NOVI simplifies your favorite news into bullet points, only 10 seconds are required to read each story

Did Luke Skywalker have a to-do list saving the universe? Prolly not, and that gives you the advantage to do greater things. Get started with Liz now http://bit.ly/NDRHEP

So yes, we’ve changed a name, we call the product “Liz” now. What’s wrong with “bvll.it”? 1. Our users can’t pronounce it or even spell it right 2. Therefo...

This is how we designed bvll.it beta

我們在美國時間七月四號把我們的第一個產品beta給上架了！我們花了許多時間在討論及設計這個app，其中當然做了許多的犧牲跟選擇，成就了現在這個非常簡單優雅的使用介面。這篇文章會帶大家走過我們決定涉及元素及介面擺設的原因及過程，這些設計可能不會全部出現在你目前下載的app中，我們的新版已經在審核中，大約七月中會開放下載。 So we’ve launched bvll.it beta...

[Launching beta!] As promised, you are the first to try our new app,
I want to thank you personally for participating in our beta testing. Here at FastBeats we have a very different way of celebrating July the 4th, we launch the beta version of our app.
You can download the app here http://bit.ly/MIndC9

bvll.it is the perfect todo list to manage your personal life with friends,
It has an extremely simple and elegant UI, and we're proud to put it in front of you today.

Yet, it's not good enough, we have already submitted the next version of our app waiting for Apple's review,
it will only be even more beautiful and easy to use in just another week,
you will have a even better designed todo list at hand.

Please send us your feedback, tell us what you think, how we can improve the app even more.

What Einstein said "Imagination is more important than knowledge",
And we truly believe bvll.it is the best way to carry out your imagination.

Thanks again, stay with us for more to come.

BR,
Noah

Get bvll.it on the App Store. See screenshots and ratings, and read customer reviews.

Here's Apple's MVP

I always hate when designers talk about how Steve Jobs is so amazing and how he'd never settle for anything but the best, blah blah blah. Yes, that's

Answer (1 of 17): One of my favorite interview questions for engineering candidates is to tell me about one thing they liked and one thing they disliked about the engineering culture at their previous company. Over the course of a few hundred interviews, this interview question has given me a sen...
