We hack the crisis with the EpidemicApp
At Synergy Codes, we design and implement web applications for the client's needs on a daily basis. But it may happen we take on other challenges that can have a real impact on reality, other peoples' lives, or even motivate and integrate ourselves as a team. The COVID-19 outbreak has not only forced the transformation of our daily work but has also become a reason to do something good for others. Therefore, when the idea of the HackTheCirsis hackathon appeared, we didn't wait a moment. This event was a pro bono venture under the patronage of the GovTech organization and the Polish Prime Minister, addressed to IT companies whose task was to create tools to assist in functioning during the COVID-19 epidemic. With the programmers at our disposal, a design team, full substantive support from the organizers, our processing forces, and a tireless CEO on board, within 96 hours we created an advanced prototype application called the EpidemicApp. Having all that gathered resulted in distinction in the list of the top 10 best-submitted applications.

Oh no, I’m not speaking of those tiny little insects bugging you (!) during summer, but real-life tragedies of misplaced labels, unusable features, app crashes and data loss. In those difficult times of misery and despair, we decided to join our forces in this Synergy Codes event. For one day, each and every Synergizer could step into testers’ shoes. That became a great opportunity to socialize and gain better insights on the currently running projects in our company. But first things first…

Ultracrepidarianism can eat up your time and design effort
You are running one of those big design projects. You have been working on it for a month now, doing research, gathering all requirements, and carrying out user needs and business analysis. You have also run a brainstorming and ideation session. What is more, you have consulted your outputs with the development team to verify the proposal feasibility. You have prepared a series of wireframes of your design solutions to present it to the business stakeholders in a compound form. You know the project deadline is tight. You sent the design proposal on Friday afternoon only to receive the feedback a week later that refutes your design proposal based on agreed requirements and expectations. Does it ring a bell?
