One surprisingly difficult part of SwiftUI and iOS development: line height and paragraph spacing. Getting "You've received a postcard" in a custom font was a pain, and the line-height options are lacking.

We recently finished a branding project with the Sport Dog Society.

One of the unused directions featured a modular identity of a pup made up of three parts: a snout, a head, and ears. Just a few variants each lead to tons of permutations.

I love designing systems. Lost Post lets users customize their postcard.

I made a variety of colors, patterns, and stamps that users can mix and match in different ways. It’s so fun seeing all the permutations and combinations you can make.

Lost Post lets users customize their postcard with colors and patterns. A side effect of this has been me going down a rabbit hole of managing these options, so I've also built a local tool to make it easier. #buildinpublic #design #iosdevelopment #appdev #swift #uxdesign

- You have a personalized postcard that goes out with your writing. You can pick the colors, the pattern, and add little stamps you unlock.

- You have a stamp book to collect country stamps from all the responses you receive (all with their own random little rotation).

I really miss the days when I was excited about my phone/the internet, and started tinkering with an iOS app to make it fun again.

Once a day, the whole world gets the same question. If you write a response, you get a response back. From someone else in the world, randomly and anonymously.
