This repository stores the starter code for the XYZ Reader project in Udacity’s Android Nanodegree.
This project was really good for me because I was able to work on my weakest skill which is UI/UX design. The main objective of this project is to make an app’s existing UI not only Material Design but also UX friendly. We were given a user feedback to have an idea on how to best fix the app’s UI:
User Feedback for XYZ Reader: Lyla says: “This app is starting to shape up but it feels a bit off in quite a few places. I can’t put finger on it but it feels odd.”
Jay says: “Is the text supposed to be so wonky and unreadable? It is not accessible to those of us without perfect vision."
Kagure says: “The color scheme is really sad and I shouldn’t feel sad.”
To finish this project I used the following:
