Ubuntu Phone App Design Guidelines Go Live

Ubuntu Phone App Design Guidelines Go LiveUbuntu has published a set of design guidelines for developers looking to crte apps for the Ubuntu Phone.
Described as a ‘living resource’ that will ‘organically grow’ over time – and for that rd: eventually cover more than just the Ubuntu Phone – the current set of documentation aims to provide all the information needed to craft consistent and user-friendly interfaces.
Core Apps
The launch of the resource couldn’t have come at a better time. Ubuntu recently announced plans to ship 12 community built appliions as part of the core software offerings on the Ubuntu Phone.

Developers have now the tools to crte butiful software, along with all the information related to UX, behaviour, patterns and visual design to ensure their apps provide a solid, cln and enjoyable user experience.”
