The JobTexta app
Designed for one thumb,
a ladder, and bad light.
Big tap targets. Four tabs. Primary actions always at the bottom where your thumb lives. iOS and Android, built in Flutter.
Thumb-zone first
Every primary button sits in the bottom 40% of the screen.
Ink, paper, green, amber
Dark = structure. Green = confirmed/go. Amber = waiting/action.
Four tabs, no more
