It’s been a couple of years since Google announced Kotlin as the recommended language to develop Android apps. It was on

Icon sets, colors, animations, typographies, and trendy designs … They don’t all have to look alike. You can surprise users. But this surprise shouldn’t be in a negative way. For example, we shouldn’t put navigation in an awkward place for creative design. I know a good example of a positive surprise.

We can work with traditional methods to avoid taking risks in large-scale projects. At some point, each of our designs looks the same (even if it’s not). Yes, I know we’ve been working on each of them individually, but that’s all.

Go to Apple’s website and check it. It looks so minimal. Once I went to the site to review a product, I scrolled the page and nothing happened. I even thought maybe the page didn’t load. Then I scrolled a little more and got it. Looked like this;

They don’t wonder if it works well or badly. It just wonders if it works until you deliver better. When you offer better, you provide a better user experience and gain loyal users. For example, on an e-commerce site, the user does not need to know technically how a t-shirt is filtered. We use a visual filter in the interface. Let the design do its job and disappear. This is just a simple example, consider this topic on your own project.

Keep it simple. I am not saying that the user should receive every message you want to give as soon as they arrive on the site. Is the site about renting a car, is it a technology blog or an e-commerce site selling gifts? They just need to understand this. It’s simple, isn’t it? Isn’t it even necessary to mention that? Yes, I thought so too. Until I do some research and come across random sites. Sometimes sites talk about themselves so much like mission, vision, who we are that the product/service is not understood. Users are like, Ok but what is the product/service on the site?

We explained to the user what the site is for in the upper article. Good start. But now the number of users coming with external links is quite high. So we cannot know which page of the site they will come to. For this reason, there should be signs on each page to show our identity. Think of it like this; we invited guests to our house. But our house has lots of entrances and rooms. Guests should understand that they are our home, wherever they come from. In this article, I have detailed this article.

Designing sites suitable for scanning does not require much effort. Our basic principle is to act according to user habits. Design according to habits: -Not always but usually- the logo appears in the upper left, the Search button is located in the upper right (in countries where reading left-to-right). Also, if the texts are divided into titles, the user will scan the page more easily.

This is a creative design. When I researched, I saw content in many blogs and YouTube channels such as ‘How to present a scroll experience like Apple’. People liked it. I think this is a good example. Let’s say we made a creative design. How do we know if it’s useful? Here it is;

Asynchronous programming plays a key role in mobile development. In the early stages, we used AsyncTask. Over time, RxJava came to light, and it’s a transformational change. But RxJava comes with a deep learning curve and a completely different approach with callbacks.

that each of the layers in the layered architecture is marked as being either closed or open. A closed layer means that a request moves from layer to layer, it must go through the layer right below it to get to the next layer below that one. The request cannot skip any layers.

It is a known fact that we fall in love with our designs :) But there is no truth that the user will love what we love. Even the designers in the project sometimes can’t agree.

And that’s it. Maybe you already knew or just learned these methods. But try to use it in your project. After every project I designed, I turned and looked through this list. And every time I found things to fix.

Using Kotlin for Android development opened new gates with features like extensions, scoped functions, data classes, object keyword, null safety, etc. Apart from Android development, you can also enter multi-platform and server-side development with Kotlin.

Let me give an example again: I don’t like tab structure at all. Honestly, I hate it. But in the usability test results, it was understood that the tab structure is hard to miss. (Steve Krug mentions it in his book Don’t Make Me Think)
