🎉 The Octave pour over guide is live! Thank you to this amazing community for all your support. To celebrate, I'm sharing the secret sauce - the exact process I used to build the coffee ratio calculator in Play (The Figma of SwiftUI)

The Octave app is finally here! 🎉 Approved first try! Entirely built with @createwithplay, no coding, no AI. www.laziestbarista.com

I’m gonna submit my cute little coffee 
app to Apple and it will be approved first try... right?

Sony's vintage poster game was absolutely unmatched. It's the way they made technology feel like art.

Tried to recreate my upcoming coffee app icon in Apple's new Icon Composer and I'm loosing so much details and charm. Am I the only one struggling with this aesthetic?

Who is this app for? Pour-over beginners intimidated by sequences, timings, and ratios. Step-by-step guidance to build confident brewing habits. What's the price? Free forever. A passion project to help newcomers join the coffee community. What devices? iOS only.

What's worse: bad coffee or brutal honesty from your coffee app? 😼 1 week with the beta of Octave's brewing guidance: ✓ Great coffee ✓ Emotional damage

Minimum delightful product > minimum viable product

Sneak peek of the App Store page assets. Submitting this week 🤞🏻

The power of design iteration. Original vision: Retro gaming vibes where you'd select cartridges for different coffee features. Plot twist: What I ended up with is even better, the whole app is now a pour-over gamified guide... with a cat!

You don't need expensive gear for perfect pour over. Just the right app... (Cat quality control included*) 😼✨

We're SO close! 😼 All the app screens are done, just some pixel pushing here and there and the brewing app can be release!

淹れる? Wanna brew?

“I heard he’s building a cute coffee app with a cat”

Sometimes the best product decision is knowing what not to build.

Designing and making an app by yourself is hard, even for something as straightforward as a pour over coffee ratio calculator. I want to release something simple, fun and delightful as a foundation to start iterating in public with you guys 🧡

you guys are making me doubt, should this app even run on iPhones? open to suggestions

Unused gamified onboarding concept for the brewing app introducing Octave. Spoiler alert... HE'S UPSET. #iOS #buildinpublic #app

How I designed the Octave coffee app: Fun from today + fun from yesterday + ANGRY CAT

Roasted coffee for the first time of my life. I was feeling nervous but it went much better than expected. Really loved the process with the change and colour and smell. I think the beans are pretty even for a first try. Done on the Hive Roaster.

The brewing app full flow. The calculation doesn't work, the illustrations are off, the copy is off and everything needs more polish but hey... I'm happy #iOS #swiftUI #app #coffee #pourover

which one are you? #hario #chemex #origami #kalita #malita #melodrip #freakingbluebottle #orea #SLURP

"we can buy one more brewer on the way home" #pourovercoffee #brewing

guys I'm actually so bad at making icons send help

First prototype of the coffee app made with Createwithplay... It's bouncy! Yes, an upset cat teaches you how to brew pour over coffee. #iOS #swiftui #app #coffee

Now this is starting to feel fun! I'll prototype it in @createwithplay next #buildinpublic #coffee #pourover #app

I really like terminal style UIs so I tried to incorporate @wwwjim Sacred Computer design library in the coffee brewing app. It's in React so I'll have to rebuild everything in SwiftUI but it looks so gooooood.

So many pour over dripper, what's your favourite one? Orea, Kalita, Hario... anything else? #pourover #coffee

Splash screen and coffee weight selection for the brewing app ☕️

Good morning from the office, drinking a great Geisha coffee today: Wilder Lazo, Colombia, Anaerobic washed.

Started to mess around with the look and feel for something for fun. Teenage Engineering meets @play.date vibe.

Having fun experimenting with different screen styles.

Light or dark theme, which side are you on? #buildinpublic #Coffee #app #ios

Been playing with different 8bit illustrations for all the brewing steps. #buildinpublic #Coffee #app

Horizontal version could be nice for people positioning their phone in front of their coffee scale. #buildinpublic #Coffee #app
