Ask HN: Where do you get your design ideas for apps?

Posted by angle943 on Friday November 08, 2013 @08:57PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Are there any books, websites, blogs, or anything that you guys recommend to get ideas/inspirations for building well designed software?

My process starts with blank paper, I draw the flow then I do a quick mockups and test. If you can do something with Xcode no design fancy so you can test the thing, better than anything else.

It must feel comfortably and, sometimes other designs aren't the best example, they may stop you to find a better way, if you inspire always in the rest.

I'm no designer, but I like http://land-book.com for screenshots of well-designed pages. http://pttrns.com/ does something similar for mobile apps.
