- Customizing the workspace to suit individual preferences and project needs.
The presenter, Elmassery from Walling, is working on designing a features page for the Walling app. This page will showcase the app's most important features with demo videos or images. Despite being a relatively simple project, it still requires planning and management.
Elmassery starts by creating a new blank wall in Walling, which helps in getting ideas out without friction. He names the first section "Features" and lists the app's features, including bricks, sections, default view, and camping view.
To gather design inspiration, Elmassery creates a new four-column section named "Inspiration." He then drags and drops links to various design examples into this section for reference.
Elmassery creates a new section named "Tasks" and switches it to a Kanban view to keep track of the project's tasks. He sets up two columns: "To Do" and "Done." The tasks include page design, features copy and videos, and page HTML and CSS.
Each feature requires both a copy and a video. To track the progress of each feature, Elmassery converts the "Features" section to a Kanban view with columns named "Pending," "In Progress," and "Done and Ordered." He adds a checklist with "video" and "copy" to each feature to keep track of their completion status. The "Done and Ordered" column is used to decide the order in which the features will appear on the final page.
As Elmassery starts working on a feature, he moves it to the "In Progress" column. Once the copy and video are completed, he checks them off and moves the feature to the "Done" column for final ordering. Walling's flexibility allows users to plan and manage projects in a way that feels most intuitive to them.
