We have been working on some designs and ideas for a “Dashboard” feature in Kerika for many months now. Actually, a couple of years now.

Along the way we  convinced ourselves many times that we had solved the problem in an ideal way.

At other times, we convinced ourselves that there was no way to solve a particular aspect of the problem, so our obviously ugly solution was the best possible solution.

Looking back on all these iterations, it’s very humbling to think about how easy it is to think something is perfect, until something better comes along — at which point the old thing is suddenly, unbearably ugly.

In other words, the ugliness of each design is obvious, in retrospect.

So everything we are proud of today: we will be ashamed of in a couple of years…
