Nuoy
I took Nuoy from an everyday frustration to a live product: one personal library for tracks saved across YouTube, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp.
Nuoy grew out of a simple habit: saving music from across the web and wanting it to live in one place. The UX challenge was bigger than saving links—tracks from three differently structured platforms needed to feel like one coherent collection.
I turned that frustration into a product principle: the source should matter less than the collection. It guided the information architecture and interaction model, creating one shared system for saving, grouping, and playing media from YouTube, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp.
Designing the end-to-end experience
I defined the product structure, mapped core flows and interface states, and carried the experience through UX/UI, front-end implementation, testing, and deployment. Working across design and code kept the product logic intact as Nuoy moved from idea to working product, while AI helped me explore and test implementation approaches more quickly.
Refining it through daily use
The MVP established the core journey, then using Nuoy every day became an ongoing usability test. Friction in saving, organizing, editing, and playback exposed awkward interactions and edge cases, which I turned into small, frequent releases. Keeping design and implementation close made it possible to test an improvement and ship it quickly.
