Simply Spell

Simply spell is an app I created as I wanted to play around with mobile development. For the design of the app, I started by finding words lists that would be the most useful for adults to learn the words lists I found where created by the new general service list project and included the most used words in both everyday speak and academic speak. I wanted to design the app in a way that everything the user would mostly be doing would be assessable by the main page, including the main statistics the app has to offer. The colours were chosen as they are meant to inspire learning.

For the development of the app, I used expo with react native to create the pages quicky and as I don't have a mac at the time of writing this, I couldn't use swift. For the “backend” I chose to use redux with redux persist as I wanted the app to be offline only (though after implementing this I realised the amount of data used in the app was too much for redux persist so will be trying more traditional backends next time).
