UX RECIPE
What’s new
Current version: 0.2
- Updated the design to match the new logo.
- Added list of currencies to select from when you calculate the final sum.
Version 0.1.2
- You can now save the calculation in PNG format using html2canvas (still in experimental phase).
- Added new “supporters” section – all major blogs, websites or newsletter that shared UX Recipe.
Version: 0.1.1
- Added a “Clear values” buttons – it will reset the inputs you typed.
Version 0.1.0
-
The Estimation Calculator has been changed based on the feed I received. Now you add your
numbers of hours. The subtotal is calculated automatically. - I also merged pull requests (from contributors) and fixed other bugs.
Version: 0.0.3
- Now when you print it only selects the calculations and not the entire page (I used @media print queries). Much more useful when budget decisions are needed to be made.
Version: 0.0.2
- I added a popover for the hashtag, incentivizing users to discover more resources. It opens after 10 seconds delays (last 5 seconds) after the page loads, but can be opened manually at any time.
- Now you can reset your selections. The checkboxes return
- Small text modifications
About the project
This project is a personal manifesto against the objectification of the term “UX”. It’s more than UI, it’s more than a PSD file.
You can use the project in three ways:
- select the ux tools and techniques for your next project;
- estimate (people, days, costs) for each and calculate the total;
- click on the #hashtags to discover recommendations & templates for each (if you have suggestions, with no restrains, do contact me to update the list);
Inspiration
I created this based on my experience and inspiration such as:
Project Guide to UX Design, Smashing UX Design, A Designer’s Research Manual
Other checklists you can explore:
UX Checklist, IXD Checklist, Web Designers Checklist
Tools used
For coding this project I used the following:
Bootstrap 3.3.2, Labelauty, Sweet Alert 2, Fontawesome
PS: this project is not intended to be a coding masterpiece. I have still a lot of work to do under the hood: refinements, optimizations, reorganization etc. It’s a prototype, but I will continue working and making it better (I’m fully aware the Javascript is a mess).
Contribute
Feel free to contribute to the project in any way possible. For any feedback (like corrections, suggestions, new structure or features etc.) you can use my blog’s contact form.
I can’t wait to see how we can improve it together. Feel free to fork. The code I written is licensed under MIT Licence and let’s keep it that way (it’s only fair as it relies on projects under the same or are free to use: e.g. Bootstrap, Fontawesome, Labelauty, Sweet Alert 2).
