So if you're vibe coding and you're just getting started and you're like, I don't know what to do, I'm just using the default ones that Claude is telling me to use, seriously, just try these.
You will notice a tangible difference if you just swap out all the icons, make them consistent.
It'll feel very different.
So that's another small one that actually has a big impact.
Exactly, exactly.
The readability, legibility, 100% if you're just starting out and you've never done any of this stuff, just watch a five minute video on typography and when to use certain weights, when to use certain colors, how they mix and match, how to make something more legible.
It goes a long way because people are going to be looking at your app
thousands of times a month, hopefully.
And so this stuff will, it will actually impact their experience.
They'll feel the difference.
The other thing is widgets.
The reason I bring this up is because with AI, it has never been easier to create widgets or even an Apple Watch integration.
It's never been easier to do this.
I'm actually doing this for all of my apps and
This is the widget for the calorie tracking app, Amy, that I have.
So we have a home screen widget.
And again, this illustration was hand drawn by my fiance, but you can totally go generate this with AI.
But again, it does really draw your attention to the widget.
It's a really nice illustration to have here and it makes it stand out.
Same thing too, if you notice there's some background sketches there.
