I'm now exploring a feed-style dashboard for BragBook instead of the timeline approach. Not sure which direction i should move forward with.

✅ More familiar
✅ Cleaner look
✅ Room to grow

#buildinpublic #uxdesign #productdesign
BragBook dashboard with feed-style layout showing Welcome Username header, entries displayed as cards in center column, and right sidebar with statistics (14 total entries, 6 this quarter, 2 weekly streak, Nov 19 last entry) and freemium prompt (4/15 free entries remaining). Right side shows three design rationales: More familiar (users know feed interfaces), Cleaner look and feel (lighter, less clutter), More room for feature growth (flexible layout for expansion).

Which dashboard direction works better? Been exploring more options.

I'm starting to lean towards Option 1, the modular, card direction as the literal timeline feels a bit overkill.

Side-by-side comparison of two BragBook dashboard layouts. Option 1 shows modular card approach with Welcome Username message and entries as individual cards. Option 2 shows literal timeline approach with Your Personal Brag Book header and entries in chronological flow. Both display sample entries with images, tags, and action buttons.

First design pass at some of the mobile screens for BragBook and my thinking behind them.

#buildinpublic #uxdesign #productdesign #mobiledesign
Three mobile screens of BragBook showing Dashboard, Add Entry form, and Share page, alongside text describing three mobile UX principles: Easily readable entries (keeps mobile experience useful), Keep entry adding lightweight (maintain simple Add Entry experience), and Maintain 1 tap actions (keep critical actions to one quick tap)

📅 Timeline structure → Chronological, grouped by month
🎯 Simple & technical → Content is the star, not the UI
⚡ 1-click actions → Copy, export, filter with no friction
🖼️ Balanced imagery → Visible but not overwhelming

Screenshot of BragBook dashboard showing three entries with timeline structure on the left, main content area in center displaying entry cards with titles, dates, descriptions, tags, links and images. Right side shows text describing four UX principles: Timeline structure, Simple technical look and feel, 1-click actions, and Prominent but balanced images.

Which branding/logo option do you prefer? I'm leaning towards option 2 but any thoughts or feedback would be super appreciated!

#buildinpublic #productdesign #logodesign
Side-by-side comparison of two BragBook logo options. Option 1 labeled "Confident, Sharp, Technical" shows the BragBook wordmark and icon. Option 2 labeled "Friendly, Soft, Approachable" shows an alternative version of the same logo. Both include the book icon and full lockup, plus standalone icon versions below.

Sharing my initial wireframes for the 'Add Entry' feature and my guiding UX principles and thinking behind my decisions.

Goals for this:
⚡ Add entries in 30 seconds
🎯 Everything optional
✨ Templates for quick starting

#buildinpublic #uxdesign #productdesign
Side-by-side comparison of BragBook's Add Entry form. Left shows empty form with minimal fields. Right shows template-selected form with pre-filled example text for "Designed Feature" including title, content, tags, and image placeholders. Top section lists three UX principles: Add entries in 30 seconds, Everything optional, and Templates for quick starting.

Sharing my first wireframe for the BragBook dashboard and my guiding UX principles for its structure and components.

✅ Simplicity - See everything at a glance
✅ Organization - Filter & search instantly
✅ Visual-forward - Images and links up front
