I then clicked 'Done'.Next I said all at once "Hey Siri Smart Siri" - and it was now answering and interacting, and writing code (It wrote a qr code generator script...but the drawback is it then had to read back the entire answer to you - every single PHP line of code it read. I had to let it finish to get to the end to hear the "Save Answer?" reply. I said yes, and it was saved to my Apple Iphone Notes app. So it all works for me. When I ask Smart Siri what time it is, the answer is September 2020 so that's the cutoff. Overall I'm very thankful for this post and detailed explanation from the author here. I had just downloaded an app to do this but they wanted $69 per year - no thank you - this is free and it gets me what I wanted.Thank you team!Ken January 22, 2023 Anonymous said… It is not returning anything yet what have i done wrong .

It does not matter what shortcut that I use for this - and there are many out there on Routinehub - they do not work with the API Key retrieved from ChatGPT, even though the key is pasted correctly into each shortcut that I have tried.

Get link Facebook X Pinterest Email Other Apps - May 30, 2020 Some readers have complained that my posts are getting too long. Well, you’ll be happy to know that I black-listed all of them (they won’t bother us again), but for the sake of making a point, this post will be a short one: Sign-up forms... Conversion rates... You want to collect the user’s name... Should you go with a single “full name” field or split it to "first name" and "last name"? My answer is: split it (see? told you it will be short). The answer is: to split.  Here's why: Why you should use a single name field:  For the sake of the sport, here are the reasons to use a single "full name" field: Better user experience - things go faster when using a single field. More fields = more friction (unless, of course, you want to create some friction on purpose ).  Prevent confusion - having one name field eliminates confusion in some places (and cultures) where  the name is handled a bit differently  (i.e in Japan, Korea, ... 8 comments Read more How to leverage friction for the success of your product Get link Facebook X Pinterest Email Other Apps - March 18, 2020 In product design, friction is usually the “bad guy”: a conversion killer that prevents users from getting things done and accomplishing their goals.   Friction is that thing that causes anxiety , confuses the users, slows them down, or distracts them from doing what they originally wanted to do or what the product wants them to do.   Friction is usually bad for business.  Unless... it’s done intentionally... There are situations where friction can help the product (or the business) perform better.   Users might still feel frustrated, but “good friction” is usually something that’s planned to achieve a certain goal that is more important than good user experience.   So when can friction be a good thing?   Here are 6 legitimate examples (followed bu some illegitimate ones):  1.

Get link Facebook X Pinterest Email Other Apps - January 06, 2022 Every time I’m involved in a new mobile project the same old question pops up: should we start with Android or iOS?  The technical pros and cons are known (device range, OS fragmentation, UX, code), as well as the possibility to use a cross-platform tech like Flutter or React Native , but the development effort is only one part of the decision. The other part is business needs.  Starting with the right operating system means you focus and prioritize your efforts:  user experience , QA,  user acquisition , and basically means you start with the users that will bring the highest value to the business.  So, which one’s first: iOS or Android?  Many people will tell you to start with iOS because iPhone users are great “ early adopters ”.  They like to try out new services, they “brag” about trendy & shiny apps that are only available on their precious iPhones (remember Clubhouse and Fortnite?), and they are used to paying for service... 4 comments Read more Collection: 10 guides for designing better products Get link Facebook X Pinterest Email Other Apps - October 01, 2021 Hey everyone!  They say an evening at home is a great opportunity to summarize 10 of your most popular posts, so I gave it a try.  So here's a collection of 10 guides that were published here, at the mobile spoon, and are packed with tons of UI/UX and product tips.  Enjoy!  1.   The definite guide for writing and designing text in mobile apps This guide includes 40 rules that will help you avoid common pitfalls when working with text: layout, alignment, spacing, fonts, microscopy, UX writing, and more.  2.   How to design data tables that don't suck Every product has some data tables (in main elements or in the admin stuff) and yet, there are probably more bad examples than good ones.  To avoid the common issues - I've created this 20 rules guide for creating user-friendly data tables and grids .

Whether it’s with my own team or while helping out some early stage startups, I keep finding myself explaining why it’s so important to stop thinking that things are not 100% ready and just ship them. First, let me start by saying this: agile development does not guarantee frequent shipping; a team can work in an agile methodology, run short sprints and still release new versions to the market in a very slow pace. What I'm taking about is the mindset to constantly put your deliverables to the test with real users, in real-world conditions, even when things are not fully ready. It’s the urge to show the world what you’ve created, even if it’s in early stages or provides limited functionality.  Shipping is that moment when the rubber meets the road and interesting things happen.  And yes, working with this mindset requires further effort: you need to break down pieces of fu... 1 comment Read more What is No-Code and why should entrepreneurs and product people care? Get link Facebook X Pinterest Email Other Apps - October 21, 2020 What's no-code? Who is it for? How far can you go with it? And Why is there such a hype around it lately? I've tried to answer those questions by talking to one of the best no-code hands-on experts out there: Zoe Chew.  When I was a student (without getting into embarrassing dates), I created a code-free gym management system using MS Access .  Access was a decent database that came with a powerful WYSIWYG UI designer on top. It was pretty good for small local businesses that wanted to manage their records digitally (with lists, lookups, forms, add/update/delete, etc.) and was considered the most widely used desktop database system in 2011 . I'm not sure Access is relevant nowadays (forgive me Microsoft if I'm wrong), but if you're following the tech trends you probably noticed a wide range of new no-code development tools and the huge hype around it.  I decided to ask the expert and contacted  Zoe Chew ( Website , Twitter , LinkedIn ), a product builder at... 2 comments Read more Load More 〉 Welcome to the mobile spoon,Home of my random thoughts on product management, user experience, mobile development, leadership and entrepreneurship.Check out theFacebook Page Or let's be friends on:Twitter ★ LinkedIn ★ Medium Subscribe Get my occasional blurbs and tips directly to your inbox: See Recent Newsletters Categories - Product Leadership - Product Management - UX - User Interface - UX Writing - Development - Entrepreneurship Most Popular - The best of the Mobile Spoon Recent Posts How to save 30 minutes per day with these AI-powered podcast apps...What is Apple's Private Cloud Compute and is it really trustworthy?...10 guides that will help you design better products...Five product management guides to start the week with...Same data, different stories: How to manipulate the graphs to support your narrative...The host syndrome: what is it and how to avoid it in your product ...These tools will boost your ChatGPT productivity in 2023...The Visionary's Curse is real.
