iOS 7. A shorthand for designing UI flows by Ryan of 37signals. Flows are just as important to good interfaces as individual screens are. Customers don’t land on screens from out of nowhere. Specific sequences of actions lead customers through your app as they try to accomplish their tasks. But as important as they are, flows are hard to communicate during the design process. Drawing out every state of a flow is too time-consuming. And drawings become instantly outdated as screens change. Working on 37signals Accounts has recently raised this issue of communicating flows for me.
Flows are made out of individual interactions. Here’s a simple and concrete example.

Now don’t forget: all diagrams are destined for the garbage.
